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

Editor: Here we have an x-radiograph of "Portrait of a Woman," artist unknown but after Michiel Jansz. van Miereveld. It's like seeing a ghost of a painting, all these layers revealed. What secrets do you think this peek behind the curtain reveals? Curator: Oh, I love this! It's like archaeology for art! We're seeing the artist's process, the underpainting, maybe even pentimenti – those little changes of mind artists make. It's a reminder that artworks have a history, a life beyond what we see on the surface. What do you think about that? Editor: It's kind of reassuring, like even masterpieces are works in progress! Curator: Exactly! Art isn't about perfection, it's about the journey. This image captures a moment in that journey, a beautiful, flawed, human moment. Editor: I never thought about art that way. Curator: Well, hopefully, you will now.
