Palette Analysis
allegorical painting occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #D1B782, is reserved to 11.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
