Impressionist /Post-Impressionist

    Woman In A Field Of Flowers (Vincent Van Gogh)
    Impressionist /Post-Impressionist
    • Artist: Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890 Dutch)
    • Medium: Oil on Canvas
    • Description: There were several issues with this: first, a previous cleaning had scrubbed it too bright, and of course, the maid got it with the handle of the mop. We employed a technique known as thread reweaving to mend the tear. When done properly, of course the restoration is impossible to see from the front, an virtually impossible to see from the rear. Then we toned the brightness down to what the market expected to see. The net result was a $6,000,000 increase in value.
