Values in nude painting (nu) rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #D7BD96, is reserved to 5.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 61 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
