gradually deepening into yellowish browns, and
emerging through warm greens to join the blues,
which are kept in check by the opposition in some
places to rich reddish browns of the same relative
shade, so that one shall not be darker than the
other : the blue is graduated as it approaches the
white, into which it is blended by the interposition
of fleshy-coloured tints. The whole aspect of the
picture is rich and warm, but subdued. The lights
are golden and the shadows brown, with just so
much cool green, white, and blue, as shall prevent
the picture appearing rusty. But though these
tints are called cool, because they are cooler than
the rest of the work, as in the style of Cuyp and
Both, they must not be cold; but above all it is
requisite to take care that they are not crude.
White must be toned with yellow or red; blue
must incline to purple ; and if black be introduced,
it must not be blue black. Plate.
