The Chase portrait is painted over an old canvas...an abandon portrait of Asher Wertheimer. Sargent flipped the portrait and started Chase. The head of Mr. Wertheimer sometimes begins to appear in, let's say, the LOWER area of the portrait!

Would the situation you describe be similar? Any idea why the appearance and disappeaarance of the phenomenon on the Chase portrait?Terry Stanley, The Art Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709188507214438422noreply@blogger.com
