The question that would best help you analyze this painting during your critique is: "How did the artist use vanishing point(s) and orthogonal lines?"
To analyze the artwork, you want to focus on the technical elements and techniques used by the artist. In this case, understanding how the artist used vanishing points and orthogonal lines can provide insights into the perspective and composition of the painting. This question encourages you to examine the artist's use of these techniques, which are fundamental in creating realistic spatial depth and structure in a painting.
