<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 51260, member: 23"]Ian (the expert) told me that probably when the friend of a friend cleaned it, he removed old fill paint where it had been restored a long time ago</p><p>. I don't think so because there were details that looked normal. If it had big, filled in cracks I think I'd have noticed. I went over it pretty thoroughly with a magnifying glass before we could ID the artist. I haven't really looked at a restored painting to see inpainting, but wouldn't it have shown up?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
