Parian

Cade Parian and Ryan Farmer of Parian Lawyers, who represented Mr. Walker, said in a statement on Tuesday that Mr. Walker wanted to stay focused on running his small business.

It gave him a strange, off-kilter appearance, like a Parian bust that had slumped during kilning due to some internal imbalance.

“Spray the brush, then use a paper towel to work through,” said Oquendo, who favors the cleaners by Parian Spirit and Cinema Secrets.

Skeptics of polychromy question why Greek and Roman artists would have sculpted with such beautiful materials—Parian marble, which was commonly used, has a prized translucence—and then painted over the surface, or bedazzled it with gilt and jewels.

“That is the magic question,” Parian said.
