proficientatfreakness:Mary, Alma and Louis are the Land, Stede is the Sea The visual separation in this scene is so startling. You would expect that if Stede is blue and Mary is yellow, their children would be dressed either in shades of green or in a mix of blues and yellows. Instead, there’s nothing on their person to indicate any kind of a connection to their father. And the positioning! Stede should have been standing on Mary’s other side, holding the back of her chair, showing his connection to her; but instead he’s off to the side, hands primly behind his back, facing away from his own family, looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. He’s not even trying.No wonder it was so easy to paint him out of this portrait; he was dead to them long before he left. -- source link
