The designs are significantly different to how they look in the final painting, which hangs in the National Gallery. The new research reveals the angel and the infant Christ were originally positioned higher up in the drawing, with the former facing out and looking down.Mr Keith told the BBC that it fitted"into a wider narrative of how we understand him as an artist who was always changing, adjusting and revising".
"This time we can see an angel and a Christ child we couldn't really see before. We could see a few lines but we couldn't see what it was."
