"Green tint" Comparison

Verdaccio layer in "Madonna & Saints" is exposed. This could be accounted for by a number of reasons:

• Top layer of fine glaze could have been lost over the ages, removed during restorations or rubbed off due to household cleaning
  
• The work was not finished by the artist

Green tint is found in a number of works by the same artist. Compare:
