"Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent.  When that happens, it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines:  a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog.  A large boat is no longer on an open sea.  That is called pentimento because the painter "repented, "  changed his mind."
                                                            Lillian Hellman, Pentimento, 1.
