Values in Franz Xaver Winterhalter rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Franz Xaver Winterhalter balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #F0EDE2, is reserved to 7.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 76 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Franz Xaver Winterhalter's complete body of work advances.
