The IR done in the 81 by the French Museums reflects that the dot of the second "i" is mixed with the l so it is absolutely normal

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The IR, X-ray and the pigments are absolutely coincidental with the known palette & methods of Modigliani, the body is constructed using strong dabs
like if it were a sculpture.
