The photos present restoration of an oil painting with an interesting case of over paintings. The surface of the paint layer has a craquelures, both in the ground and paint. They were covered with a new paint layer, to hide the disturbing cracks.

For subjective reasons the over painting has not been removed in this restoration treatment, just has been detected with observation in UV-light, and documented with photos taken in UV-light.
