X-ray imagery shows that these objects were painted over the picture about 100 years after it was first made. It’s difficult to see the picture’s true quality as the painted surface is quite damaged. The underdrawing (the preliminary outlining of a composition), however, shows a very delicate and detailed drawing of the friar’s facial features, which matches Bellini’s sophisticated technique towards the end of his career.
The image may have been altered to show a saint, rather than an unknown Dominican friar, to make it more appealing to a potential buyer.
