The top, bottom, and side edges on the reverse of the panel have been chamfered, but not along the curved portion, indicating that the panel was originally a rectangular format, a conclusion that has not been questioned to date. <br><br>The panel was prepared by first applying a thin, continuous layer of chalk ground (identified as calcium carbonate) to lightly fill the wood grain of the panel. This initial chalk ground was then covered with a warm yellow-brown color of thin priming or primuesel layer composed of a mixture of lead white, chalk, and earth pigments, bound in oil. Layers of paint were then built up in a manner similar to other paintings on wood panel by Rembrandt from this period. After the priming layer was laid down, translucent dark brown washes were first applied to work out the general forms of the portrait. Next, a neutral, grayish-green monochromatic paint, sometimes referred to as dead coloring, was thinly applied as a base for the successive build up for the more textured and opaque layers of the sitter\u2019s face. Areas of shadow in the face, under the lips, around the nose, under the eyebrows, and along the proper left side of the face were intentionally left in reserve by Rembrandt to preserve a rich translucency that he would exploit in the final stages of painting. The X-radiograph reveals Rembrandt's use of lead white to build up impasto. More thickly applied areas of lead white block more X-rays, appearing lighter.<br><br>Subtle glazes in the sitter\u2019s face were abraded from an early varnish removal before entering the collection. Past restoration attempts to correct these damages in the uppermost paint layers were not successful. Therefore, in 2013, an in-depth conservation treatment was designed to address passages where glazes had been stripped away. Inpainting was carried out in a systematic manner, rebuilding the paint layers and glazes in the order that the artist would have applied them. One of the key strategies behind the recent inpainting was to preserve the artist\u2019s intended use of the warm underlayer that was left in reserve for rich shadows and soft transitions.", "has_conservation_images": true, "cover_accession_number": null, "is_nazi_era_provenance": false, "impression": null, "alternate_titles": ["Portrait of a Lady"], "is_highlight": false, "updated_at": "2026-05-29 06:23:57.210000"}}
