A previously unknown self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh has been discovered behind another of the artist’s paintings, the National Galleries of Scotland says.

The self-portrait was found on the back of Van Gogh’s Head of a Peasant Woman when experts at the Edinburgh gallery took an X-ray of the canvas ahead of an upcoming exhibition.

UK correspondent Enda Brady told 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker the work is believed to have been hidden for over a century, covered by layers of glue and cardboard when it was framed in the early 20th century.
