    Varnished top section of painting once all of the degraded varnish and overpaint was removed. The team continued to apply and tone fills throughout the bottom section of the painting. Infrared Reflectography was performed with the assistance of Chemistry Departments at Villanova University and Washington and Lee University.

    Infrared light that falls with the 780-3000 nm range (near infrared) of the electromagnetic spectrum can be particularly useful for revealing preliminary sketches, underdrawings, or compositional changes that lie beneath visible paint layers. Areas that have been painted using a significant amount of carbon black readily absorb IR light (appearing black in the IR images) while other pigments, such as vermillion, are transparent. Using an IR camera equipped with an InGaAs detector, a team from Washington and Lee University's Chemistry Department generously devoted their time and equipment in an effort to acquire images of the painting.

    The IR reflectogram of King Saul revealed slight adjustments to the contours of the face, mouth, and beard. More prominent in the IR image is the original placement of the crown which was initially much larger and positioned higher up.

    Abner, the head of King Saul's army, was originally adorned with a helmet possessing a prominent feather plume. The IR reflectogram also reveals that Abner's entire head was positioned much lower during the early painting stages and was shifted upwards.

    In the preliminary composition, David was originally depicting grasping his sword by the blade and not by the handle. The ghostly form of the original hilt can be seen higher up on the blade. David's hands were also eventually repositioned.

    On the left side of this IR reflectogram two small dark eyes are faintly visible, originating from the head of a small child. This figure was ultimately painted over during the final painting stages.
