What are the original colors of this piece? If they are the darker colors and shadowed face, they should not have been edited from the artist's original. Some websites have the original, and some have the edit. -Etoile (talk) 13:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Paintings sometimes accumulate layers of varnish and dirt, so the current colors are not necessarily the originally-intended colors. Not sure how that would change bright yellow into soft orange, though... AnonMoos (talk) 01:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
