The story of saving and restoring a painting found at a flea market.
I want to share an incredible story. At a flea market in Lviv, I accidentally found a painting that turned out to be an 18th century work. After thorough expert examination and a year and a half of restoration, the painting was attributed as a work by a student of the Pinzel school. The restoration cost many times more than the purchase price, but the result was worth it — now this work is the pearl of my collection.
