A painted swatch of Copper resinate
History of Copper resinate:
Commonly used in 16th century Italian oil paintings, with occasional use before and after. Copper resinates glazes are frequently used to color foliage. Often used with azurite paint, and layered over lead white or lead-tin yellow. Copper resinates are similar to azurite oil paints in appearance and chemistry (in fact, azurite paints can evolve with age, and form copper salts of fatty acids).
