Palette Analysis
Melchior d'Hondecoeter distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; Melchior d'Hondecoeter favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A45F31 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 2 of Melchior d'Hondecoeter's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
