"Hidden Dog Discovered in Famous Picasso Painting"
Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have discovered a small dog hidden beneath the painted surface of a Pablo Picasso painting, 'Le Moulin de la Galette,' using X-ray technology. The dog, which sports a red bow, was covered up by a patch of dark paint on the canvas. The painting is the centerpiece of the Guggenheim's current 'Young Picasso in Paris' exhibit, which showcases 10 paintings and drawings done by the Spanish artist upon his arrival in the French capital in 1900. The study also revealed other changes that Picasso made to the work, including swapping the genders of a dancing couple and painting over an empty chair.
