Works on Paper

    Young Girl with a Bow
    Paper Conservation: Art European 18th Century

    Artist: Unknown
    Medium: pastel on paper

    Water damage; close proximity to water in flooded residence created humidity distortion.

    Re-humidified it to make it supple, then (because it is a pastel, and cannot be dried under weights without crushing the pastel into the paper) dried on the suction vacuum table.
