Observations
Across the sheet, the images use richly visible oil-paint brushwork, layered textures, and finely observed fabrics, foliage, faces, and interiors. Warm muted colors are punctuated by strong sunlight and deep shadow, creating intimate domestic scenes with period clothing, flowers, books, and architectural details.
