Diagnosticul is a 1750 unspecified by Hendrick Goovaierts, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a dimly lit room where a group of people sit around a table. The light comes from a small window, casting shadows on their faces. Some are dressed in dark clothes, while others wear lighter fabrics, and a red cloth hangs near the front. A dog lies on the floor, and a few people seem to be talking or listening closely. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to guide your eye. This makes the faces and hands stand out against the shadowy background. Look up chiaroscuro to learn how this technique works.
