This picture was in my basement bathrom, on the wall and there is no ventilation. My sumpump is located as well. The door was closed accidentally after I returned from a 3 week trip and mold formed on the walls. Is this a total lost?

I’d ask a pro. Mold is nothing to fool around with. -

It looks like it might be on the inside - open up the picture and clean the glass, maybe it was stored in a damp environment -

A little bleach in water should do the trick on the glass If you can take the picture out of the frame and lay it in the open air and maybe some sun--it will help. However--not so much sun that you fade the picture. -
