Cleaning

Consolidation

Jan 7, 2019

Photographs taken. Consolidations of lifting cracks in girl’s face using 3:1 Beva 371: Naptha, syringed into cracks and set with heat spatula to 150 degrees.

Varnish / Removal

Jan 7, 2019

Remove varnish using solvent, especially areas of pooled varnish and where cracks are lifting to remove lint and trapped flyspecks and other materials in varnish. Added matte varnish. Potential for further consolidation.

Testing

Jan 8, 2019 - Jan 13, 2019

Testing and beginning varnish removal, starting at bottom right corner and moving along bottom edge. Using Naptha, 1/5th of glossy varnish removed. Blue color coming away on swabs confirmed to be due to varnish rather than pigment lifting (did not come up blue on child’s legs). Blue areas still sensitive and susceptible, so being quick in application. Finished varnish removal; reconsolidated cracks in mother’s left arm/child’s right cheek.

Retouching

Jan 13, 2019 - Jan 23, 2019

In-filled losses with clear gesso, removed flyspecks with pH adjusted water (8.5). Fills pared back to be level with surface. Barrier layer of Larapol, in-painting with watercolor. Removed adhesive substance of top edge with Naptha. May be the same material as the varnish removed from the painting’s surface. It pulls away like PVA residue. In-painting using Bremer and Daniel Smith watercolors.
