She becomes very conspicuous because of her unlikely position in the painting. Because of this difference in lighting, the mood presented can be distinguished into two, a mournful one and a frightful one. Also, the contrast in lighting, as well as in color, adds in the painting"tms effective catch of attention. The shapes involved are defined and they work in accordance with the color. It adds to the boldness and reality of the scene. There is a creation of an illusive space in the painting. The wide flooring space somehow makes the viewers want to walk about the painting and be a spectator himself. The outstanding use of warm colors creates the illusion of the space.
