Palette Analysis

C. R. W. Nevinson works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. C. R. W.

The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. In the context of C. R. W.
