Much of the analysis that was done at the museum was formal. We discussed the physical features of the painting and tended to repeat much of what we had said. This was because the painting does not provide a clear storyline. It offers us more of a glimpse into a specific moment of time in a big city. We recorded more of an in-depth analysis of the work as we edited our video. We focused less on the historical value of Dickson’s piece, as there doesn’t seem to be any. What we did look at was the meaning the painting might have had for her or the viewer. Given more time, we would have researched the artist herself and her truest intentions.
