X-radiograph(s) of "Miss Farmer" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Miss Farmer" by Cosmo Alexander. It’s fascinating—a kind of ghostly grid. What secrets do you think it's trying to reveal? Curator: Ah, the unseen made visible! This isn’t just a portrait; it's a peek under the skin of art history. It's like archaeology but for paintings, revealing the artist's process, hidden layers, and even later restorations. Imagine the stories those cracks could tell! Editor: So it’s like a painting’s medical record? Curator: Exactly! It whispers tales of time, technique, and perhaps even the artist's original intentions, altered by age or a later hand. It’s a beautiful reminder that art has layers, both literal and figurative, wouldn't you say? Editor: Definitely. I’ll never look at a painting the same way again.
