Unknown Artist

Oil on paper

Charles University Prague

A fine baroque portrait by an unknown master. The painting had been treated in several stages during the past, destroyed by overcleaning, which has lead to scratches in the final layers of paint and diminished the stability between canvas and ground.

Conservation: Removal of old lining, flattening treatment, re-lining, removal of varnish residues, over painting and fills. Filling the losses in paint, reintegration by retouching, protective varnish.
