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?

- behringer 4y agoThey 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.
