Observations
The style uses richly worked oil-paint surfaces with fine brushwork, exceptionally detailed textures, and strongly modelled faces, hands, fabrics, flowers, and metal. Dense ornamental arrangements, deep shadows, red and green coloration, reflective armour, and closely cropped figures create a sumptuous classical portrait effect.
