During a visit to the Maison Agutte-Sembat in Bonnières-sur-Seine, Still Life, a work that seemed to have suffered throughout its history, caught my attention… Entrusted to the National Heritage Institute as part of my last year of training, this painting on cardboard has given rise to a rich work of research and restoration. From the rediscovery of Georgette Agutte, to the problems of the restoration of matt pictorial layers, to the use of 3D tools, the final work conducted on this still life was an opportunity to meet many challenges.
