Palette Analysis
James Tissot occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that James Tissot deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #A0683D, is reserved to 3.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette is recognisably James Tissot's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
