The Suspects

Now we have seen the evidence we need to consider the possible causes. Our intelligence has narrowed the lists of suspects. Click on the agent you think caused the damage to the painting.

	Criminals: Could a vandal have caused the split?
	Incorrect relative humidity: Has the watercolour been kept somewhere either too damp or too dry?
	Physical force: Could the watercolour have been crushed or dropped, causing the paper to split?
	It isn't likely. Pests usually chew holes rather than straight lines so you'll need to guess again. Have another guess
	Temperature: Has the watercolour been kept somewhere either too hot or too cold?
