Worked with oils once upon a time and there is a process in creating the overall image that has to be built upon which can involved removal or covering an element in the picture. There is also a part of the process where guidelines are drawn in by various means as placeholders... that's where I suspect this underneath image came from. The fact that it took so many years to complete this project, I can imagine that this was the "placeholder image" for some time.
