Like here... cloning is dumb. What to do for restoring the original
color under the reflect... ?

Like applying a negative white (black)  ? through a gradient mask ?

this problem is massive, in every picture took in a museum.

thanks, L

I think you are on the right line with a gradient.

New transparent layer
colour pick the foreground from the image (very dark brown)
apply a gradient - foreground to transparent - to the top third.

quick test here

its going to need some experiments with the gradient settings.

Also multiply satures very much the colors... nice path to search for
effect.
