TL;DR Summary

Art conservators Jørgen Wadum and Angela Jager discovered a missing person in a painting by Cornelis De Vos, leading them to search for the identity of the woman. They found her portrait for sale and were able to reunite it with the original painting, which had been cut down in the 19th century. The family in the painting remains unidentified, but the paintings now hang side by side at the Nivaagaard Collection.
