<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aquitaine, post: 109978, member: 602&quot;]I would think that would have depended on how good the restorer was.....wonder if the &quot;friend&quot; unwittingly put some varnish or urethane on it trying to be &#039;helpful&#039;....... also, from what I have read &amp; seen on TV shows.....PROFESSIONAL restorers (if I&#039;m remembering correctly!) only use a water base paint for in-painting so as not to destroy the original painting!&nbsp; So, maybe that got removed when the &quot;friend&quot; cleaned it.....sounds plausible..... </p><p>BUT, it IS a dear, sweet painting!!!!&nbsp; I would check other museums or gallerys before springing the big bucks!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
