X-radiograph(s) of "Portrait of a Lady" 

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of John Singleton Copley's "Portrait of a Lady." It's fascinating to see the painting like this. What hidden stories do you think this ghostly view might reveal? Curator: It's like peering into the soul of the painting, isn't it? I imagine the artist wrestling with their choices, layering paint, and perhaps even altering the composition. Can you sense that process, the echoes of decisions made and unmade? It’s a beautiful glimpse behind the curtain. Editor: Absolutely! It's like seeing the artist's thought process in real-time. I never considered how much a painting could change under the surface. Curator: Exactly. It transforms how we look at art, doesn't it? Editor: It truly does. I'll never look at a portrait the same way again.
