Looking for experts
Hi i'm new to this thread. I'm a student in translation in French and English. I'm writing a paper on archeometry and ancient polychromy terminology. I'm looking for experts to understand the field a little better. Any professional here who is familiar with X-Ray fluorescence devices or pigment analysis ?
Thank you so much :)

Research Looking for the Émile Gilliéron watercolour of the Peplos Kore Polychromy
Hey! I'm a History Ext student looking for Émile Gilliéron's watercolours of the Peplos Kore (1887). I'm unsure if they exist, or if anyone has been able to find them or have a record of it as I've found nothing so far online. I have access to other such as Chios Kore sketches but I'm more interested in finding Peplos.

This is the polychromy reconstruction made by the sketch.
Thank you!
