Ugh. If they can remove the top layer, why can't they also remove the wood frame?

  No, they did not remove the top layer. The procedure could be damaging and so is any attempt at removing the frame. Not saying it's not possible but is it worth it? Would it add value or substract from it? X-raying to see what's underneath is nifty but that's about it. On the outside there is a finished painting, why destroy it?

    I meant digitally. I assumed they did some kind of 3D MRI type scan. If you do that, you can easily pull off upper AND lower layers. I'm not sure how an x-ray can make paint #1 appear but paint #2 invisible - so I guess I'm missing something.

      They didn't make any layer disappear. They're all there together. Although you do bring up an interesting idea, you could remove the top layer by subtracting the visible portion from the xray.
