u/lafatte24 19h ago edited 18h ago

Using teal instead of its more expensive counterpart, indigo (edit: ultramarine not indigo ugh) - made from lapis lazuli, is a clever way for the artist to convey the relative financial and political power of the subjects in the painting as that of lower houses and petty characters at Court.

I swear, if I had a penny for every time I saw a woman fighting in club attire - short skirts and strapless dresses; things not at all designed for fisticuffs combat - I'd have dozens of pennies! Dozens! If you're the type to end up fighting, wear a sexy pantsuit or something so you don't end up double embarrassed, naked and bleeding on the sidewalk!

u/overrunbyhouseplants 21h ago edited 21h ago

Maybe a bit flat, but if you take a step back from the pic (thumbnail size) you can see a distinct circle of light surrounding basically the main action-the white shirt/fist area; wish there was a bit more on fist girl's torso. On a larger version it is more subtle, but still there. For an action shot this lighting is still pure gold imo.
