There is a material science expertise, confirming the age of the painting.
Status of the canvas is satisfactory with small discontinuities, Crackle and small chips of the paint layer. Restoration and artistic expertise required.

Dear Laura, we must immediately pull over the canvas on a new (normal) sub-frame, and you can just ruin the good work.

If you sell, then do nothing, the buyer will do everything himself. pull such rabroty should specialist and sub-frame must have its own, it is very important for art criticism expertise.

Samvel, a new sub-frame, meaning it succeed to keep (for examination) ", the picture will only be destroyed .. such a stretcher is simply barbarism ..

On the third picture like home, and if the new, still, change has to specialist.

Samvel, that the specialists agree, but we must do it urgently ..

Thank you for completely correct advice. During his long life canvas soaked with paint so that it became hard, unyielding. Restoration is necessary, but after examination and desirable to do it his new owner. Can you recommend a reputable expert?

Expertise required Art History, as material science confirmed date of writing canvas. The cost of examination is not, I estimate. When it comes to the cost of the painting, the asking price of 150 thousand dollars. What is your opinion?
