Louis Leopold Boilly Palette 4

Palette Analysis

Louis Leopold Boilly distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #1E160D, is reserved to 9.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 4 of Louis Leopold Boilly's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
