Nukkuva bakkantti, kopio Fragonardin mukaan is an unspecified by Werner von Hausen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman lying down on a rocky surface. She’s naked, resting on one arm with her head tilted back, looking relaxed. The background is dark, almost like night, with a few clouds glowing faintly. Near her feet, there’s a basket and some scattered items on the ground. The soft light on her skin makes her look smooth and pale. The dark background makes her stand out, like she’s the only thing in focus. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and dark like this.
Werner von Hausen made copies so exact they fooled experts, but his metal reliefs tell a different story.
