It would not surprise me to discover that there are figures in an underpainting that were eliminated or repositioned in the final composition. That doesn’t make them “secret messages”.

Your theory is a good one, but he might have indeed intended it to be a “secret message” - from his imagination.

I paint using oil based paints and various quality canvasses. Often times, I purposely weave in and/or add “hidden” images in the painting or beind the obvious picture. Some people “see” what’s “hidden” to the naked eye, some people don’t - or they do after a time.

Regardless, it’s a painting, not a snapshot.
