'Magical' Self-Portrait of Norman Cornish Discovered Behind Painting

A newly found self-portrait by popular English artist Norman Cornish was unveiled Thursday, July 18, at the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, England.
The Bowes Museum’s conservator of 20 years, Jon Old, discovered the portrait during conservation work on one of Cornish’s paintings, entitled “Bar Scene.”
Old noticed an unusual back board resting on the back of the painting and “decided to remove the board to see if it was affecting the painting, and to [his] surprise it revealed this wonderful other painting on the reverse, which was quite magical,” said Old in a quote from BBC.
This is the 29th known self-portrait of Cornish, according to the museum.
