These two paintings dating from the late 19th century had been mounted on wooden frames for many years. They were dismantled and glued by an upholsterer in the inside of the panels of this dining room. Only small problem before installation, they found that they were too short! This difficult exercise was a real challenge. Three coats of adhesive plaster and numerous sanding operations were necessary to restore the same thickness of fabric. After finding the tones of the degraded canvas backgrounds, I extended, added and created some patterns using my imagination. Consequently, my additions take up the style and hand of the "anonymous" artist to blend in with the whole.
