Rublev Litharge is made by a modern process of direct oxidation of lead, wielding a finely divided yellow orange powder of high purity. Litharge is monoxide of lead and usually contains about 93 percent of lead and 7 percent of oxygen. It is not used as a pigment in oil painting, but was used as a pigment in manuscript illumination (egg tempera and watercolor) and infrequently in fresco painting.
