Additionally, the authors are seeking ways of making these technologies robust for in-field non-experts, as well as practical research instruments for undergraduate and graduate education. The study examined the information obtained using low cost (US$15,000) as well as high cost (US$300,000) imaging instrumentation. With this discovery, A Study in Pink became an ideal case study for evaluating the advantages and limitations of nondestructive instrumentation for the purpose of providing useful art historical information on cultural heritage objects. An x-radiograph taken in 2014 revealed that there was a painting of another female figure, rotated 180 degrees, underneath the current composition. The painting, titled A Study in Pink, is in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA). In an ongoing, highly collaborative project, the authors are investigating a painting by American artist John White Alexander (1856–1915). Reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS) in the visible and near infrared is revolutionizing the way cultural heritage investigators may analyze paintings nondestructively.
