Using infrared reflectography

This painting provides an excellent example of the use of infrared reflectography in examining a work of art.
During the creative process the artist made some important changes in the group of figures. In the exhibition this can be seen in the differences between the freely sketched figures in the drawing compared to those in the final painting. Infrared reflectography can therefore provide important evidence about the creative evolution of a work of art.
