Values in Marten van Mytens the Younger rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow.

The most saturated colour, #672622, is reserved to 6.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 66 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Marten van Mytens the Younger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
