Style and Materiality

The style of the work leans towards Early Netherlandish painting, characterized by meticulous detail, realistic representation of textures—particularly fabrics—and a focus on narrative clarity. The technique appears to be oil paint on panel, which is evidenced by the smooth surfaces and rich colors. The materials used are traditional for Renaissance art, consisting of wood panels, pigments derived from minerals and plants, and linseed oil as a binding medium.
