Art Restoration Workshop

An art restorer's workshop under brick and beams, its tall window looking out on a pale baroque facade. The front bench is laid with numbered pigment jars, a wooden palette, jars of brushes, scalpels, a magnifier and an open reference book. A gilt-framed painting of an angel in an orange robe leans against the bench beside a framed river landscape; more framed canvases stack against the shelving. On the right, a small white marble figure stands lit by an angled lamp on a work counter crowded with bottles, tubes and swabs, a pegboard of chisels, pliers and knives above it. Stone busts and a carved statue wait on a draped table at left, another figure being worked on behind. Portraits and landscapes hang in gold frames on the far wall. Gold frames, warm brick and cool stone keep three clear zones.
