Condition (seen in raking light): The painting and support fabric were buckled and out of plane. The paint layer showed overall cracking patterns. There was a discolored varnish layer and embedded surface grime.
Treatment: The fabric was relaxed with moisture and weights and then stabilized. The varnish and surface grime were removed. |
