<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 24910, member: 37&quot;]When I first saw this, I thought it might be a contemporary painting with the background areas being some kind of artistic treatment. If it is a truly old painting, I think the background paint was improperly applied and over the years the top layers have shrunk and separated. Some of this may be later in-painting to repair or modify the painting in some way. The first step would be to clean it to see what you have. Beyond that, it is hard to say what to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
