Beautiful stranger
 

Dear forum !
Continuing the excavations in the family archives , meeting :) > stumbled upon a picture . Paper on a stretcher , watercolor ( probably ) . Stretcher pasted a newspaper with the text with " Z " characters. How valuable this product with thin . point of view and with such damage ? How to restore ? Maybe someone knows the author ? Advise what to do .

I am afraid that nothing can be done.
Killed outright.

found it on the street 15 years ago, was lying next to the trash.

Yes .....
Probably need to be a humanist and poor return to where you found it .....

JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
thing you can do will look good ...
but I'm not sure that this watercolor.

Most likely it is printed.

Printing??
But she's clearly old, behind papered with newspaper beginning of the century.
Then, too, printed reproductions of such quality?
It seems to me, or watercolor or gouache.
Should I restore?
The issue price of costs and the final result ...
without significance :)>

And what if the bed?


[COLOR="Gray"], or it will be complete nonsense? [/COLOR]

Well check out , because , watercolor and gouache are reversible , ie diluted with water . Have a look at corner , wipe lightly wet wool , will mark ...
It is hardly possible to restore , except that with strong intervention ... Furthermore , nobody knows who the author and who is represented ... Under such circumstances, it is worth nothing ...

Looked and looked ...

And I can not even understand what it is, what years?

Either 1880, or 1920.


By the look and bearing model - like the 1920, and on clothes - like 1880 ...


Written very masterovito.

But really, is not whether the reproduction?

To me, too, more like a fully chipped pastel . Can not be restored . The maximum that can be attributed restorer to pick it cleaned , consolidated and finished ( or rather re- wrote ) it . Then it will then get nice historical reconstruction, which can sell for the old original portrait or simply hang on the wall for the interior styling . Despite the fact that the portrait will be a new , old patina remains .... Although the money will be released as per the original purchase probably ) ) )

Hold a more extensive study and accomplish your goal :)>
