A previously unnoticed self-portrait of Van Gogh has been found behind an another painter in the National Galleries of Scotland.

When experts at the Edinburgh Gallery were x-raying the painting "Head of a Peasant Woman" ahead of an upcoming exhibition they discovered it.

[{ "selector": ".gkrwl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 399px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

It is believed that the painting had been hidden for centuries, it was covered by layers of glue and cardboard.

[{ "selector": ".bbwor-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 421px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The picture depicted self-portrait of Van Gogh with brimmed hat.

[{ "selector": ".wgtne-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 468px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Experts also say that his severed left ear is clearly visible in the picture and that Van Gogh famously cut off his ear in 1888.

[{ "selector": ".spupn-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 422px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

This indicates that the painting was made after 1888.
