Conservation work revealed incredible secret...

In this film, we follow the work of our conservation team over a number of months as they treat a painting by Isack van Ostade (RCIN 407234). During a full conservation treatment, the first time the painting had been worked on since 1903, a surprising discovery suggested that the painting had been altered at this time to avoid offending Edwardian sensibilities. Watch to see what they uncovered.
