Curator: The decision to restore the cloak of the central figure in Veronese' s painting from its present red to the green found underneath is fully justified  Reliable x-ray and chemical tests show that the red pigment was applied after the painting had been completed, and that the red paint was not mixed in Veronese' s workshop  Hence it appears likely that an artist other than Veronese tampered with Veronese' s painting after its completion  Art critic: But in a copy of Veronese' s painting made shortly after Veronese died, the cloak is red
It is highly unlikely that a copyist would have made so major a change so soon after Veronese' s death
It is a subsidiary conclusion that supports the argument's main conclusion.
