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

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Portrait of a Young Woman", attributed to Rembrandt. It feels like a ghost, a hidden layer revealed. What story do you think this glimpse beneath the surface tells us? Curator: Ah, yes, a ghostly echo! It whispers of process, doesn't it? The artist's hand, revising, building layers of thought and form. Think of it as an archaeological dig into Rembrandt's mind, those drips like tears of artistic struggle. What do you see in her eyes? Editor: Now that you mention it, a hint of uncertainty, maybe? I hadn't really noticed. Curator: Exactly! Art isn't just about the final flourish, but all the buried intentions and doubts along the way. Makes you wonder, doesn't it, about our own hidden selves, the X-rays of our souls? Editor: Definitely gives a new perspective on the finished portrait, knowing what lies beneath. Curator: Indeed! And a peek into Rembrandt's relentless pursuit of perfection. Food for thought, wouldn’t you say?
