How to solve it

Treat a figure painting as two puzzles with different rules. The lit subject — a face, a white collar, a bright sleeve — goes by recognition. The dark ground around it goes by tone and brushstroke alone, so turn the piece count down if those passages feel like guesswork, and zoom right in: you can see individual strokes. Folk art and ornament are the reverse — busy everywhere, so sort by pattern rather than by colour.
