The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting

Pero no, quizás lo que hizo el artista fue ocultar en esa representación las pistas de otro escándalo, aun mayor, que involucraba a una conocida familia de la época. De esta manera, el coleccionista recorre la geografía del cuadro, buscando los indicios de la verdad oculta.
