On the back of another painting by Vincent Van Gogh, a new self-portrait was found.
A fresh self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh has been unearthed by experts from the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS), according to NRC. An X-ray led to the discovery of the portrait on the back of the painting, Head of a Peasant Woman with a White Cap, from 1885.
A thick coating of glue and cardboard obscures the image. Most likely, Van Gogh painted this piece in Paris during the summer of 1887. Experts made an X-ray of the Nuenen peasant lady while they were looking at the picture of her.
The X-ray was tweeted by a BBC journalist:
Curator-in-chief Lesley Stevenson tells the BBC that she was “shocked” to see the artist staring directly at her. It’s safe to say that when we first saw the picture, we were overjoyed. When Van Gogh was working on the backs of his paintings, it wasn’t the first time. To save money, he did this.
Since 1960, the Scottish Museum’s collection has included the head of a white-hatted peasant woman. The picture was purchased by Evelyn St. Croix Fleming in 1923. Her son, who is most known for his work on the spy franchise, was created by her son. When the sculpture got to Scotland in 1951, it was given to the National Gallery of Scotland, where it is still kept to this day.
It was discovered in 1905.
Glue and cardboard were presumably added to the painting’s back around 1905. This may have been in preparation for an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in the Netherlands. The front was thought to be finished, but the back was not.
The exhibition A Taste for Impressionism prompted the Scottish investigation of the piece. The X-ray, which depicts the self-portrait, will now be shown in addition to the work done with the farmer’s wife. In only two weeks, the display will be accessible to the public.
After the show, the institution intends to display the self-portrait permanently. It’s impossible to say how long this will take. “Something like this needs to be done very cautiously. We don’t want to put pressure on it,” a curator told NRC.

Picha ya picha ya Vincent van Gogh ya kuchongwa na mchoraji wa filamu ya kuigiza ya kihistoria ya Scotland, NRC "Kutumia X-ray, mchoro wa ""Mkubwa wa Mwanamke wa Kijiji na Kofia Nyeupe"" uligunduliwa." Pamba nene ya gundi na makaratasi huficha picha hiyo. Van Gogh alichora picha hii huko Paris mwaka 1887. Wataalamu walifanya X-ray ya mwanamke wa mashambani wa Nuenen walipokuwa wakitazama picha yake. "Mwandishi wa BBC Lesley Stevenson, ambaye ni msimamizi wa kituo cha BBC, alisema: ""Nilishangaa kuona msanii akimtazama moja kwa moja." Ni salama kusema kwamba tulipotazama picha hiyo kwa mara ya kwanza, tulifurahi sana. Wakati Van Gogh alikuwa akifanya kazi kwenye nyuma ya michoro yake, haikuwa mara ya kwanza. Ili kuokoa pesa, alifanya hivi. Tangu mwaka 1960 mkusanyiko wa Makumbusho ya Scotland umejumuisha kichwa cha mwanamke wa kijijini mwenye kofia nyeupe. Picha hiyo ilinunuliwa na Evelyn St. Croix Fleming mnamo 1923. Mwanawe, ambaye anajulikana zaidi kwa kazi yake kwenye franchise ya ujasusi, aliundwa na mwanawe. Sanamu hiyo ilipopelekwa Scotland mwaka 1951, ilipewa nyumba ya sanaa ya National Gallery of Scotland, ambako bado inahifadhiwa hadi leo. Iligunduliwa mwaka wa 1905. Glue na kadi ya karatasi iliongezwa kwa mchoro huo karibu 1905. Huenda hilo lilikuwa maandalizi ya maonyesho katika Jumba la Makumbusho la Stedelijk huko Uholanzi. Sehemu ya mbele ilidhaniwa kuwa imekamilika, lakini sehemu ya nyuma haikukamilika. Maonyesho ya A Taste for Impressionism yalisababisha uchunguzi wa Scotland wa kipande hicho. X-ray, ambayo inaonyesha picha ya kibinafsi, sasa itaonyeshwa pamoja na kazi iliyofanywa na mke wa mkulima. Katika majuma mawili tu, maonyesho hayo yatapatikana kwa umma. Baada ya maonyesho hayo, taasisi hiyo inakusudia kuonyesha picha hiyo ya kibinafsi kwa kudumu. Haiwezekani kusema ni muda gani hii itachukua. <unk>Kitu kama hiki kinahitaji kufanywa kwa tahadhari sana. Hatutaki kuisumbua, "msimamizi mmoja aliiambia NRC.
