Not for nothin' but that's a pretty complex painting - it probably came from a source design. Have you asked if there's a smaller version available? Have you even asked the old secretary/janitor/gym coach that every thinks is an idiot but has been there the longest and knows where everything is? ;^) Even for an expert it'll take some time to clean that up and even then you're probably going to lose a lot of the gradients in the colors. If you're willing to convert it to solid color it would be easier... You could definitely sample the "good" colors and replace the "bad" ones - but again, you'll lose the gradient. Masking just the shadow and raising the brightness/gamma should get you close but it will look "washed" out (more than it is) but still with some fine blur/smear work afterwards and a nice big resolution shrink down to web-size it should come out okay.
