X-radiograph(s) of "Benjamin Pollard" 

Editor: This is an X-radiograph of "Benjamin Pollard". It seems that the original painting was created by Joseph Blackburn. Looking at this ghostly image, I wonder about the layers beneath the surface. What secrets does this reveal to you? Curator: It's like peering into the soul of the painting itself, isn’t it? You see the density of the lead white, how the artist built up the forms, particularly in the face. It whispers of process, of revisions...almost like an archaeological dig in paint. Fascinating, isn't it? Editor: It really is. I hadn't thought of it that way, as an archaeological dig. It makes me wonder what other secrets lie hidden beneath the surface of other artworks. Curator: Exactly! Every artwork has its own hidden history, waiting to be discovered.
