Medium/Materials
1. The medium of the work is oil and canvas
2. Materials used include oil paint and a canvas

4. If I were to touch the painting it would not feel course but it is not completely smooth either.
5. There is no sense of different textures within the work.
Dimensions
1. The work is about 5 feet high and 4 feet wide.

d. The artist has not suggested a three dimensional space.
Composition
a. The elements do not interact; each specific portrait does not interact with the other.
b. The relationship does not convey unity of the forms
c. Many of the forms are clustered toward the bottom and middle, they are spaced at the top of the work.
d. The composition...
