unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Taiteilijan veljen Hans Peter Købken muotokuva is an unspecified by Christen Købke, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This is a simple portrait of a man in a dark coat and white shirt. His hands rest on his lap, and he looks straight ahead with a calm face. The background is a plain dark red, keeping all focus on him. The painting uses soft light and shadow to shape his face, giving it a gentle look. His curly hair is carefully brushed, and the fabric of his coat looks smooth. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Christen Schiellerup Købke (26 May 1810 – 7 February 1848) was a Danish painter, and one of the best-known artists from the Golden Age of Danish Painting.
