Experts have discovered a new self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh at the National Galleries of Scotland, while investigating the work ‘Head of a Peasant Woman in a White Cap’ (1885), NRC reports. They found the portrait thanks to an X-ray taken from the back of a painting Van Gogh painted in 1885 of a woman from Nuenen. He probably painted the self-portrait, which will remain hidden behind cardboard and a firm layer of glue for the time being, in Paris in 1887.
