portrait of a nun, which was originally painted in 1656 but then copied in 1886 in Paris, was brought in to us to be re-stretched on to its original frame, as it had been ripped off. Once it had been stretched, we observed that there were bad patches of mould, so we offered to give it a specialist cleaning which we undertook.

The stretched and cleaned canvas was then reassembled in its original frame which also had to be repaired. Picture on the top is before cleaning and the bottom is after.
