X-radiograph(s) of "Portrait of a Young Woman" 

Editor: Here we have an x-radiograph of "Portrait of a Young Woman" by Bartholomeus van der Helst. It's kind of eerie, seeing the layers beneath the surface like this. What secrets do you think it reveals? Curator: Secrets indeed! It’s like peeking behind the curtain of time, isn't it? For me, it reveals the artist's process, the subtle changes, a ghostly palimpsest of creation. It whispers about the artist's hand and intent. What do you think it whispers to you? Editor: It feels like a medical scan, like we're seeing the skeleton of the painting. Curator: Exactly! We're seeing art meet science, revealing a hidden story. Each ghostly layer offers a new understanding of the artist's choices. Editor: That's amazing. I'll never look at a painting the same way again!
