Maintain or restore your thoughts, please
 

Greetings

Oil on cardboard 32cm x 26.5 x 3.
MCP-XC is not the original.
Three cut nails of silver is still embedded.
Necessary to stabilize the paint, but after that, how far to go?
Value for money does not matter.
Too me, there are certain aesthetic qualities, as it is.
It is curious to know what experts are here to do?

Would also like to know the school or region?
St. Petersburg is possible?

Thank you for your attention.

Podokladnitsa, meaning to restore?, Cost a penny ..

russophile, maybe discussion in english is better?
Seems like your text is online translation.


Or if, in Russian, then the problem is not understandable.
In your message, too many mistakes.
It is necessary to clarify issues and initial data.

I apologize. I am using an online translator. I have this panel. The lettering on top Iиc and Xc are not part of the original painting. They were added sometime later. In a restoration would you remove them? There are remnants of nails made of silver still embedded in the board, would you remove them? I need to stablize the painting of Christ but after that I am not sure about how far to take a restoration. Would the experts here suggest a complete restoration or something different? I hope this helps. Thank you.

Meaning, in general this icon restore?
Have podokladnitsy normal painting .. any repair the only spoil the icon will be .. waveguide.

russophile, is an icon rather mediocre.
Weak.
Normal.

In such cases, restoration of the full program (full cycle) is not justified.


These icons can be partially restore: to clear the pollution and conserve.
If you want to tell you more.
Can the English.

olnev, thank you.

Please know there was never any intention to mislead anyone. In an exercise of discovery, this is not an icon. It is a late 18th early 19th Century Neoclassical painting. It is expertly painted. Any adornment was added after completion and then removed long ago. No matter the expert, I have learned scientific examination is necessary for true professional examination. The human eye sees 380-750nm in spectrum. Science sees (>1mm-10 to the -12 power m). So many answers to construction and authorship exist outside our visual range. Whether in America or Russia or anywhere is a professional experts opinion truly professional without science to validate it?
