The other images show peeling paint, exposed canvas, scratches and discolouration on works dated 1935. Fine-brush retouching and reference use are visible here. Solvent testing, adhesives, lining and de-acidification are not established by these photographs. An image assessment is not a solvent test. Confirm the treatment scope and intake arrangements for the particular painting before sending it. ## About Kamils Art I'm Kamil.
