A detail of the left edge after fill application and during the toning process. Red-brown colored gouache paints were applied to all areas of fill in order to match the original stratigraphy of the painting, Cross-sectional analysis revealed that the artist applied at least two coats of red-brown paint to the canvas to serve as a ground layer before working up the composition.
