Why do you think there is so much space above the figures in "Tea for the Bishop"and "The Sick Doctor"?
I can see how the extra space helps to employ the darkness (almost like fog entering the room in Sick Doctor) as a tool to make the other colors pop, without loosing the details of the room interior. The extra height over the figures also adds a sense of atmosphere to the room .
Of course, the boring explanation would be, back then rooms had very high ceilings....
I am curious to know what others think about all that space above the figures.
