| This X-radiograph shows that initially the white area
of the collar was painted larger than in the final portrait.
While still wet, the painter scratched into this white paint
with a palette knife, causing ridges where the paint accumulated.
These ridges show as white lines on both the X-radiograph
and the paint surface. |

This atypical painting technique might be a valuable tool
in future attributions to this master. |
