      “Pentimentos” just refers to the five-sided breath mints widely known to have been Vermeer’s favorite. Often trace amounts will turn up under a microscope. It’s how they know it’s authentically his.

        Don’t know if you’re trolling, but pentimenti are small changes or corrections artists do, while drawing/painting.
