Soția tâmplarului Wolf is an unspecified by Johann Martin Stock, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This portrait shows a woman dressed in rich, old-fashioned clothes. She wears a light gray outer garment with dark brown fur trim, a pearl necklace, and a dark head covering. In her hand, she holds a single pink rose with green leaves. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her. Her face and hands are painted with smooth, soft shadows that make them look three-dimensional. This effect was a common trick in older portraits. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists used light and shadow like this.
A late-18th-century Austrian painter, Johann Martin Stock made bold, folksy portraits and still lifes in oils, plus a few prints.
