[split] Jorge's Retracer Thread: darker ink, retracing of text and drawings

As I see it, this page has the usual combination of faded original traces, Rt0, and apparently three rounds of retracing, Rt1-Rt3.

As in the other Zodiac pages, Rt1 carefully retraced most of the text and a large fraction of the figure outlines. The other two rounds were limited to isolated glyphs and words, and to limited parts of the figures.

Rounds Rt1 and Rt2 are hard to tell apart because they both used ink that now appears light yellowish ocher, somewhat translucent, with similar broadstroke widths. Round Rt3 used dark grayish-brown ink, and, as usual, was concentrated on specific parts of the nymphs' body, hairdo, and headgear. But he also retraced some labels.

The clip above spans and annotates the four "overflow" nymphs outside the diagram and standing on it. Basically, the labels are green for Rt0,  cyan for Rt1 and/or Rt2, and purple for Rt3.

(A1,A3,A4,C3,D4) Original (Rt0) traces. (B1) Eyebrow from Rt0. (F4) Example of Rt1 trace. (G1) Bogus chin line across neck added by Rt1 or Rt2. (H1,H2,H3,H4) Changes to the pubic areas by Rt1 and/or Rt2. (I2) Bonnet added by Rt2.

Rt3 additions and modifications: (M1) Showercap. (N3) Showercap with hairline. (P1,P2,P3,P4) Eyes. (Q1,Q3,Q4) Hair. (R1,R2,R3,R4) Right breasts and nipples. (S1,S2,S3,S4) left nipples.(T3,T4) Outlines of left breasts. (U2,U3,U4) Belly buttons. (V4) Crotch line. (W1,W2) Rt1/Rt2 trace showing under Rt3 trace.

This annotated clip only considers the four nymphs.  The text in that clip was retraced too, but it will be analyzed in a separate post.

All the best, --stolfi
