There is a faint second face on the reverse side of the cloth. Both the image on the front side of the cloth and on the backside are completely superficial and there are no imaged fibers in between. It is impossible to imagine how a paint was applied to both sides of the cloth without it soaking into the cloth.

This mage bearing material, a polysaccharide, is not paint and not paint medium. The images are not paintings of a human body. The face is not a painting of a human face.
