Works on Paper

    Paper Conservation: Art European 19th Century

    Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir, French (1841-1919)
    Medium: water color on paper

    This original watercolor arrived at our lab in distressing condition. It contained foxing, discoloration, masking tape, and folds to the paper.

    This folding, and attendant flattening is particurally evident in the second photo.
