Research team finds secret inside abandoned Paris apartment that had been hidden for 70 years

[post_page_title]The painting’s muse[/post_page_title]

After some extensive research, they concluded that the subject of the painting was Marthe, during her bustling days as part of Les Demimondaines. She would have lived an exuberant life, spending most of her time drinking, spending excessive amounts of money, and bringing a regular string of lovers back to the apartment.

The painting was never exhibited, however, and so there were no records or details of its existence, including having no known date of creation.
