Herbert List's Young Arab in the Foxtail Lilies is a good example of scale created by non distinct foreground and figure. Because the model and the lilies are both in focus scale is thrown off. The eye is drawn down the stem of the lilies to the model. The lilies outline the models body really well accentuating him as the focus of the piece. The contrast of the piece also accentuates his body against a lighter grey background of the mountains. The shades of the skin create good soft texture while the texture of the lilies are harder and more jagged.
