Observations
Across all four renders, the style is richly painterly, with visible fine brushwork, layered textures, and densely populated tavern scenes. Warm, subdued earth tones are organized by strong light-dark contrasts, while expressive gestures, untidy surroundings, and animated groups create a lively yet grimy atmosphere.
