Observations
The style is richly painterly, with broad, visible strokes building textured foliage, fur, fabric, masonry, and flowers. It combines detailed outdoor tableaux of people and animals with warm, subdued natural colors and a classical garden setting, while expressive lighting and lively gestures keep the scenes animated.
