This indicated that the painter of the Louvre Belle had first laid down metallic flesh tints (impermeable by X-rays) then painted the jewelry over them. The practice of blocking out the whole figure before adding ornament is favored by artists working from live models. But in the Hahn X-ray the jewelry was clearly visible suggesting that the Hahn Belle had first been carefully sketched then colored in separate...
