Dominant colour
Comitele Konrad Schmidt is a 1864 by Eduard Kaiser, a Impressionism work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark suit and white shirt, looking straight ahead. His mustache and neatly combed hair sit above a high collar. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the painting a slightly rough texture. This style was common in the 1800s when artists wanted to show real people, not polished ideals. Try looking up Realism next to see more paintings like this one.
Eduard Kaiser (22 February 1820 in Graz – 30 August 1895 in Vienna) was an Austrian painter and lithographer, as was his brother Alexander Kaiser (1819–1872).
