<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4499604, member: 60629"]Got the wheat painting removed from the frame. It does appear to be painted canvas glued to a piece of millboard. It also looks like a faded signature is in the bottom left. Some water damage to the top right.

The original varnish appears degraded and is rendering the painting yellow and somewhat unclear. Would you just remount this in a new frame and move on, or do you think it's worth removing the varnish and revarnishing? I've applied some Neutralizer to the center of the painting in the last picture. This should approximate the clarity new varnish would provide (just not the yellow removal).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393677[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393678[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393679[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393680[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
