Palette Analysis
Values in Jan van der Meer II rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #A3845B, is reserved to 2.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 64 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. These proportions encode Jan van der Meer II's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
