Abstract
In this work, we are presenting a preliminary study of the pigments used in two paintings by Dimitar Dobrovich: "Children playing with soap bubbles," oil on canvas, and "Roma. Girl with a Jar", oil on canvas. They were analyzed non-destructively by means of X-ray fluorescence (p-XRF) and Raman spectrometry. Chemical analysis of the used pigments and the obtained analytical results show a very rich palette, including cinnabar, ochre, lead white, lead yellow, minium, realgar/orpiment, gold, etc. The interest in the technical-technological features of these paintings aims to determine the specific issues for conservation and restoration purposes. This particular task is part of a larger study of more than 70 paintings from the private collection of Mr. Miroslav Dachev, subject of multidisciplinary analyses for autentification.
