Niels Frederik Schiøttz-Jensen, Barber’s Shop

Niels Frederik Schiøttz-Jensen, Barber’s ShopA fine 19th century Danish oil on wood depicting a scene from a barbers shop. The artist, Niels Frederik Schittz Jensen (1855 1941) has exquisitely captured every detail. Note how the light falls across the three figures to create a diagonal through the composition. The barber, young man and girl are lit with strong contrast akin to chiaroscuro as the boy turns to talk with his sibling. Behind the figures, the room is rustic with the walls barely

This technique gives the scene depth and pulls us closer towards it
