Stav díla před restaurováním
The base of the artwork is stable, and there are no signs of activity from woodworm. However, the piece has undergone a poorly executed cleaning attempt in the past, which utilized inappropriate and overly aggressive methods. As a result, the painting exhibits uneven residues of varnish layers, remnants of secondary interventions, and surface dirt.
Furthermore, the artwork shows areas of abrasion, with sections of the upper layers of paint lost entirely. Numerous defects are present, reaching down to the underlying support. In some exceptional cases, parts of the support are missing altogether.
Stav díla po restaurování
Surface dirt was removed using dry-cleaning methods from both sides of the panel. Degraded varnish layers and inappropriate secondary interventions were thinned or removed. The paint surface was isolated with a thin layer of dammar varnish. Losses were filled, followed by a further thin isolating varnish layer and reversible retouching. A final varnish layer was applied by spray.
