Restoration of an ancient painting
The painting was damaged by hot steam. On the reverse side, the surface is painted with white paint (in this case, chalk whitewash).There was also a chemical burn from applying alkaline glue (silicate) to the surface of the painting. During the restoration, the whitewash was removed from the reverse side, the lacquer coating was restored, and the alkaline medium was neutralized. The subframe was repaired, the edges were duplicated, dirt was removed and the loss of soil and paint layer was replenished
