<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11449048, member: 82566&quot;]thank you so much.&nbsp; all of this information you&#039;ve provided is very helpful.&nbsp; when i&#039;ve examined the bubbling material(varnish or what ever it is) and how it mixes with the actual pigment in specific areas of this painting, yi can see that this isn&#039;t a matter of just a &quot;coat of varnish&quot; laying over an artwork.&nbsp; it&#039;s actually part of the artwork.&nbsp; the way these two elements intermingle, i can see now that this probably can&#039;t be cleaned without ruining the painting.&nbsp; i&#039;m pretty sure the material that&#039;s bubbling was probably originally an element of the artwork itself that didn&#039;t age well.&nbsp; if there was some way to figure out who the artist is, that&#039;s probably about as far as you&#039;d want to take it.&nbsp; i do notice that along the stretcher on the backside there&#039;s paper afixed to it.&nbsp; i&#039;ve wondered if there isn&#039;t something written on the actual stretcher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
