They found that cadmium ions from the oil paint had combined with bits of the varnish itself to make a compound called cadmium oxalate, while sulphate ions from the paint interacted with lead from the varnish to make a compound called anglesite. Together, the cadmium oxalate and anglesite account for the discoloration.
