Jean-Baptiste Greuze keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #482A16, is reserved to 5.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 72 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Jean-Baptiste Greuze's complete body of work advances.
