Conservators at the Rocky Mountain Conservation Center have been responsible for conservation of a Ming Dynasty wall painting, The Female Attendant, from the collection of the Denver Art Museum. The fragment was showcased in the Museum's centennial exhibition, Collecting, Preserving and Interpreting, with an accompanying film segment which demonstrated and discussed its conservation process. The painting is attributed to the Shaanxi Province of Northern China. The materials and techniques employed in construction of the painting and the subsequent alteration and restoration, together with constraints on time and funding, required that particular caution be exercised in its conservation. This paper will present aspects of the examination, analysis and treatment of the painting.
