For this painting, we focused on the subject matter, discussing facial expressions, bodily positions, and object placement. We brought up possible religious metaphors and possible context behind the painting, bringing in even murder and death. However, we didn’t do much formal analysis, as we didn’t notice any immediate or significant use of technique, but we discussed the bland color scheme as opposed to the bright bar of soap in the center of the picture, the aforementioned baptismal metaphor. I think we did as much as we could in the time that we had, as none of us have ever done anything like this and we had minimal knowledge of the painting, as the description didn’t really say anything.
