Not necessarily - you'd be surprised at the hypotheticals people can come up with
There would be a connection, for example, in the following order of events:
- images penned
- images painted, red paint sparse
- text written
- B scribe has more red paint now so adds this to his pages
There would be no connection if it went something like this though:
- images penned
- text written
- images painted, apart from red
- Red added in separate pass. For some reason, this process did not reach the further pages.
It seems clear to me that some pages did not undergo the red "pass", since the human figures on the recto of the Rosettes page don't have blush or red lips. Red also seems to be missing from f101r, while those containers are clearly asking for it.
This topic is immensely complicated by the pages' being out of order though. I'm looking forward to Lisa's talk tomorrow, which might touch on page order.
