Palette Analysis

Jean-Étienne Liotard occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Jean-Étienne Liotard favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #3B3635 at 26.6% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The most saturated colour, #7A5A51, is reserved to 6.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 4 of Jean-Étienne Liotard's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
