Palette Analysis
Values in Jan Asselijn rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #5E4E32 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Jan Asselijn's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
