Lucas cleared his throat lightly, a touch of helplessness in his tone. “Mr. Calvin, this is Sloane- the one I mentioned to you. She recently acquired several damaged ancient texts at the auction and was hoping you could take a look to see if they’re salvageable.”

Sloane stepped forward and gave a polite nod. “Mr. Calvin, it’s truly an honor to meet you. I’ve heard so much about your work.”

tasks.”

“Oh?” Mr. Calvin raised an eyebrow. “Van Gogh’s figure paintings are treasures in their own right! His brushwork–so fluid and vivid–brings life to every line. They’re incredibly difficult

to restore.”

He paused in his step and turned to examine her with genuine curiosity. “How damaged was the painting? What method did you use to restore it?”

Sloane nodded thoughtfully as she recalled. Her voice was calm and structured. “The piece

had dried cracks, heavy discoloration, and areas of paint flaking. We started by gently cleaning the surface with a fine brush and a custom solution. Then we matched pigments to the original color tones, carefully blending and layering with brushwork that mirrored the original strokes. We repeatedly adjusted the thickness and texture of the paint to ensure a seamless blend.”
