allegorical painting is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. The artist keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #6A4D32, is reserved to 9.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 66 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
