Values in Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #BFD6E2, registers at 5.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Taken together, these qualities constitute Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
