14. The light shape of the dog is outlined by the black underlayer, over which the tree trunk was painted. The altered refractive index of the paint medium has increased the transparency of the top paint layer revealing the layers beneath. [Hunt in the forest, by Paolo Uccello. Panel, 73.3 by 177 cm. (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).]
Attributed works:
15. Fig.1 with the incision lines visible on the painting marked in bold black lines. The broken lines illustrate most of the perspective lines of the underdrawing visible with infra-red reflectography.[Hunt in the forest, by Paolo Uccello. Panel, 73.3 by 177 cm. (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).]
Attributed works:
16. Infra-red reflectograph assembly of the three running dogs in Fig.1. Uccello changed the position of the dogs' tails, and of the open mouth of the third dog.[Hunt in the forest, by Paolo Uccello. Panel, 73.3 by 177 cm. (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).]
Attributed works:
17. Infra-red reflectograph assembly of the paired horses at the far right of Fig.1 with nine or ten legs between them.

22. Copy of a section of Hunt in the forest, by Paolo Uccello. [Hunt in the forest, by Paolo Uccello. Panel, 73.3 by 177 cm. (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford).]
Attributed works:
23. Diagram Fig. 22. Letters A-E correspond to the following sequence. The copy was carried out following the method of construction, materials and techniques of the original as closely as possible. It shows the extent of change due to the natural ageing processes of the materials used, and gives an indication of how the original might have looked when first completed. A Pieces of canvas were glued over knots and surface defects. B The gesso was made from calcium sulphate and rabbitskin glue. The first two gesso layers were stippled on to ensure good adhesion. C The perspective lines and outlines of the figures were drawn in charcoal. D The predominately carbon black underlayer in a glue medium was applied over the foreground and foliage areas, leaving the figures as silhouettes. A grey layer was applied beneath the sky. Incisions were made to determine the position of the trees, logs and horizon line. E Main areas were painted in egg-tempera medium: the foreground green, the darkest green foliage, the sky and the body colours of the figures. F Modelling layers in the figures and trees followed. Oak leaves and plants were painted, with further layers superimposed. G Final details included the modification of contours and the painting of facial features. A copper-resinate glaze was applied over the foreground. H Leaf shapes were scraped out in the foliage and gold leaf was applied in the hollows. Additional gold leaves were applied directly onto the paint layers.
