Infrared multispectral imaging would be interesting to see what is under the surface, if there are any pentimentos underneath.
Can someone please ELI5, felt like I was reading the wrong language there.
“Pentimentos” just refers to the five-sided breath mints widely known to have been Vermeer’s favorite. Often trace amounts will turn up under a microscope. It’s how they know it’s authentically his.
Don’t know if you’re trolling, but pentimenti are small changes or corrections artists do, while drawing/painting.
