Savitry Bougnat Boulevard Saint Jacques – During Treatment – Water damaged photograph – Image loss – Inpainting

During Inpainting

Once the infill is glued, it’s final tint is adjusted with colour pencils to blend with the original. From a distance the infill then becomes hardly visible but can be easily distinguished when looked at more closely. Thus the image is readable but the conservator’s action is distinguishable.
