X-radiograph(s) of "Mrs. Holyoke" 

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Mrs. Holyoke," derived from John Greenwood's original. It's eerie seeing a portrait stripped bare like this. What can this tell us about the artwork's history and the cultural forces at play? Curator: An X-radiograph unveils the painting's material history, showing us the artist's process. Consider what this act of revelation means in a world increasingly obsessed with transparency, while simultaneously constructing carefully curated public images. How might this tension shape our understanding? Editor: That's a really interesting point, I hadn't thought of it that way before. Curator: It is a useful lens through which to better understand our relationship to portraiture and representation.
