Treatment Record
A 19th-century oil painting by Horace Van Ruth, dated 1874. Years of accumulated grime and discoloured varnish had significantly dulled the original palette. Conservation treatment involved careful varnish removal and surface cleaning to reveal the artist's intended warm tones and fine detail. A final protective varnish was applied to stabilise and preserve the work.
