In the museum, my partner and I reflected on the painting’s formal properties such as the painter’s techniques, the subjects position, the painting’s colors, etc.
Additionally, we briefly touched on the historical context of the image, which helped us to analyze the painting further. In this painting in particular, the setting was the Victorian Era, in which the color schemes used were bleak with streaks of vivid color. This explained much about the painter’s choice of color.
We didn’t deeply discuss the subject matter, as the meaning behind the woman in the painting seems very ambiguous.
If we had more time, we would have liked to view more paintings. We very easily lost track of time when speaking about few works of art, and didn’t realize that time was of the essence in the museum.
