Scope of work: The painting appears stable. A minimum amount of consolidation will be done around the large chip at the top. The surface of the panel will be cleaned with an aqueous chelating compound to reduce the grime. The varnish will then be tested for reduction. The varnish is heavily discolored and marked with imbibed grime. The chip will be filled and inpainted. A fresh saturating coat of varnish will be applied.
