If not, it will probably need a BEVA treatment or similar to consolidate the paint before restoration can proceed. You can probably get by with a single patch to repair the canvas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have dimensions?

Virtually no paint loss whatsoever. The painting had never been cleaned so I tried dry dusting it. To my surprise a chunk of paint fell off the moment my soft cloth touched the surface!
