Infrared Reflectography (IRR) is a non destructive technique used to detect underdrawing and pentimenti in art [1]. This technique uses infrared light similar to that of Infrared Radiation to detect infrared absorption and reflectance underneath the primary layer in paintings [2]. Some notable paintings that IRR has been used on include: Picasso's Woman Ironing and The Blue Room, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and Thomas Cole's The Consummation of Empire.
