The Doubtful Coin

About this work

This painting shows a person in a dark room holding a lantern. Their face is lit from below, casting shadows. On a table nearby, there’s a basket of apples and some loose fruit. The person wears a patterned hat and a heavy coat. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the scene feel sketchy and alive. The light from the lantern highlights the apples, making them stand out against the dark background. Next, look up Henry Hunt to see more of his work.
