A Duet
George Adolphus Storey was a 19th century artist, who painted his original picture of ‘A Duet’ in one style from the late 17th century. However he then made extensive alterations before exhibiting it, changing several main areas of the composition. Why he reworked the canvas in such a way rather than starting again is not clear but he did retain the same figure positions in the new image. We can identify the major changes by looking at the x-ray image of particular areas.
