I was wondering if anyone can help me. We have inherited an oil painting, which my father-in-law painted - an incredible painting of St.Peter's Square. The painting was passed down the family & we have recently been left it. The last family member to own it was a heavy smoker. The painting is now yellow and has also acquired a lot of ingrained dust. How would I clean this painting, please. I'd be grateful of your expertise. Many thanks.
