X-radiograph(s) of "Study Head" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Study Head" by Rembrandt, at the Harvard Art Museums. It’s interesting to see the layers beneath the surface. What does an x-ray reveal about Rembrandt's process and the painting's history? Curator: Well, x-rays allow us to see beneath the visible layers, revealing information about the artist's technique. They also show evidence of changes, or pentimenti, that Rembrandt made during the painting process, which tells us about his working method. Editor: So, it’s like a peek behind the curtain of the artist's decisions? Curator: Exactly! And it raises questions about authenticity and the evolution of the artwork's meaning. Editor: Fascinating, thank you!
