I never knew the Mona Lisa originally had eyebrow! I had always been told it was the fashion of the times. Interesting! It makes you wonder what other paintings have been damaged by cleaning over time.

I am a big fan of using temporary varnishes pending the final varnish. In between these two (like you said, minimum of 6 months) there is always a slight collection of dust on the surface. I always struggle to remove it since my paintings are full of ridges and raised areas. Wiping it with a cloth seems to just deposit tiny fibers (from the cloth) to the surface. Does anyone have a method that works for them? For example, a certain type of cloth, lint roller, vacuum?

Thanks!
