out of scale Explanation: My first thought was "skewed", but if you look at the picture, this is not an appropriate description of the figures. However, they are out of scale: this is one of Jerusalem's main gates, but it looks about ten feet high. This is a common feature of medieval art. I believe "décalé" is being used in the sense of "odd" or "disproportionate". http://www.wordreference.com/fren/décalé |
