X-radiograph(s) of "Three Girls" 

Curator: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Three Girls," a work attributed to Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Pena, residing at the Harvard Art Museums. What strikes you about this ghostly view? Editor: Well, it’s like peering into the souls of the girls, isn't it? A hidden dimension revealed. The darkness feels almost…spiritual. Curator: X-radiography uncovers what lies beneath the surface, it's interesting to think about what artists conceal. Editor: Perhaps the artist was uncertain, changing his mind, refining the image, maybe searching for the perfect expression. It's like a visual echo. Curator: Exactly! We're seeing layers of intent, a timeline etched within the paint. It reminds us of the artistic process as an act of revealing, and concealing. Editor: It makes you wonder about all the unseen layers in art, and in life.
