Portrait Münchhausen Kopie
1850

From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
This painting shows a man in a dark, plain background. He has a big white wig and a serious expression. His clothes are fancy—white lace at the neck, a brown vest, and a shiny metal chest piece over his shirt. The brushwork is smooth, with soft shadows on his face and neck. The dark background makes his features stand out clearly. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
