There's a couple interesting features on this painting in terms of the technique and the textures. If you can see the target shapes in the female figure are actually inscribed. So, he used probably a kind of compass or circular device to actually make these circular shapes in the paint, so it has a kind of depth to it. And then, in terms of the enamel paint, you can see where he coated the background around the signature and around the inscription at the top, leaving the under layers visible around those areas.
