I was thinking the same thing. There was undoubtedly more pigment on the pillars in 1846 than there is today, but the artist probably filled in some missing zones. It does give a good impression of what they must have looked like when first made. I always wonder what the roof looked like. Must have been pretty dark in there when it was roofed over.
