This scholarly volume in the field of technical art history presents a rigorous examination of underdrawing practices in European painting, with particular emphasis on their material, stylistic, and diagnostic significance. Payne and Macnaughtan document the use of infrared reflectography and other imaging techniques to uncover preparatory layers beneath finished compositions, revealing artists’ working methods and revisions. The journal argues for the critical role of underdrawing in understanding attribution, workshop practices, and conservation priorities. Case studies from Australian collections illustrate how these hidden layers inform both historical interpretation and contemporary restoration ethics.
