The work has several tints of brown and beige which gives a vintage ambiance to the scene. The most eye catching part is the color of the liquid which almost has a golden hue. Even though the atmosphere is somber, the picture is quite well-lit which is probably to show that even during a bright sunny day, people can feel down and melancholic to a point of drinking alcohol on their own. To conclude, Andrew Leventis wants to show a simple action that people usually do to either celebrate or when felling down and by using a sense of disorientation and confusion with fuzzy lines and curious perspective proves his point which is the title Melancholia. This painting is a representation of an action resulting of a feeling in our everyday life and almost anybody can relate to this
