do not touch alcohol, not vkoem case!
Svozite it in Kiev or Lviv there it would strengthen, I think for 200 dollars at most ...
Clean it is not necessary - Just Duplicate and restore the paint vapors of alcohol.

 Duplication is the type of substrate that is ? I thought about it . First thoughts were about slaborazvedenny PVA but then realized that the deeply mistaken . Was an experience . Cracked with age, an icon in silver and fell to the floor . Took the clamps . PVA . Come up with watercolor you imagine what was . How carefully I tried vymakat PVA extruded from the face of all the watercolors are posmyvalas . It seems the restorer is not only a knowledge base but also a very neat hand . At the expense of painting and alcohol Thanks for the tip . After your words, I thought that it may become darker .

More precisely - to make the clearing is necessary, because the patched presence of surface contamination .
If there is a desire for color painting , which originally was present in the picture - should be " thinned " yellowed and decayed varnish film ..
In general , you have already advised - we will take a good picture restorers , do not have amateur :rolleyes: >

Maximuschigaev, if you want to "kill" his picture, then experiment for yourself.

If you want to give it life, give the professionals, let revived.

As the poet said:

"The trouble, since his boots will tochat pieman, and pies oven cobbler!"

uriart, let God be with him, the owner - a gentleman!

In the case of irreversible damage to paintings, humanity will not suffer irreparable loss!

I think that this student Aivazovsky A. Frondetti, Italian by birth, who lived in southern Russia

Clearly, this is not Aivazovsky.


And what's wrong with this picture?

Well, cracked.

So what?


It is you that is hanging on the stove, or what?

Or outside the home?


But apart from this - that can damage the old picture?

      Special thanks for your opinion. It is unfortunately the only one. Maybe .. Looks like .. I do not argue. but not the fact. Although the analogy of a shopping mall with Aivazovsky or A. Frandetti all are ostaetsya.Hotya Frandetti practiced wood instead of canvas like? Faessler not like. Mb someone else? Although I am not an expert but the number of colors and shades that I've seen in my life did not show such deep shades that I have observed, looking at her. Dobitsya caramel can be implicated only in the absolute white and every artist a white light in their sees. And it is not always white as it should be on the present. The photograph of this course is not visible. Chalk-white foam tidal wave. In any case, this photo is quite difficult to judge. I will try to put decent. But later.
      p.s. Nobody is going to climb to the picture with any brush with rags and other AMwaY I also explained that I had a bitter experience and repeat it I'm not going. And something like that theme gently flowed toward detergents. I request on its merits. And thanks again for any comments.

G. Kapustina, too, it seems!
But the photos you have frail!

The owner with a bottle of alcohol!
