The varnish coat and the back of the canvas and stretcher were surface cleaned. The compact dust between the canvas and bottom stretcher member was removed. Extra tacks were added to the tacking margins, the canvas was tensioned and the wedges secured. The bulge and tears were moisture treated to flatten the canvas. The tears were mended and patched. The lacunae were filled and retouched. The painting was brush and spray varnished. A detailed treatment report with before, during and after treatment photographs was provided.
