Double-Sided Paper Fan: Watercolour, ink, ivory and fabric on paper supported by a metal structure, 7 ¾” x 15 ¼”
Before Treatment: Paper support was separated along many of the metal “ribs” and a few sections were missing (far left).
After Treatment: Tears were repaired and strengthened with Japanese tissue and wheat starch paste. The lost support sections were recreated and the lost media was toned to integrate the image.
