X-radiograph(s) of "Man with a Beer Keg" Possibly 25 - 84

Editor: Here we have an X-radiograph of "Man with a Beer Keg" after Frans Hals. The image is so ghostly, a peek behind the curtain. What secrets do you think this reveals, beyond the surface? Curator: It's like peering into the soul of the painting, isn't it? This shows us the artist's process, maybe even changes they made. Do you see those denser areas? Perhaps those are earlier layers. Editor: Yes, like a pentimento! It's amazing to think about all the hidden history beneath the visible image. Curator: Exactly! It reminds us that art isn't just about the final product but the journey. We've uncovered hidden stories. Editor: It's like art archaeology! I'll never look at a painting the same way again.
