This is Pablo Picasso’s painting “The Blue Room.”
A hidden painting has been found by scientists beneath the brush strokes of The Blue Room, a 1901 Picasso artwork.
Art experts and conservators at The Phillips Collection in Washington used infrared technology on the masterpiece, revealing a bow-tied man with his face resting on his hand.
Picasso created both works in Paris during his famous blue period.

    I love how we have technology that can look behind the surface painting. Wow!

    A palimpsest!  A lot of older paintings were painted over previous artists' paintings because it was cheaper to buy used canvas than new, but having two picassos in one is unusual and nifty.
