Popis: This case study reveals the analytical characterisation carried out on ‘D’Apres Cormon’ (1891) by Veloso Salgado, a copy of ‘Cain’ (1880) by Fernando Cormon, belonging nowadays to Musee d’Orsay . Infrared Reflectography made in situ revealed underdrawing grid that was used to transpose the original painting to a smaller scale, pictorial style, execution method and retouched/restored areas. In situ EDXRF analysis together with Raman microscopy allowed the identification of gypsum, lead white, titanium white, yellow ochre, vermilion, ultramarine and lamp black. These results provide valuable information about the Salgado’s palette and his production technique.
