Researchers have found a secret painting hidden in one of Pablo Picasso's first masterpieces.
Beneath "The Blue Room" (1901) is a bearded man of unknown origin.
Observers knew since at least 1954 that there were odd brushstrokes on the work of a woman bathing, but it wasn't clear that it was a portrait until now.
Improved infrared imagery revealed the man, who has a beard and is holding an umbrella.
