"Die Farbschichten zeigen vorwiegend in den dunklen Partien eine starke Schollenbildung, zum Teil ist die Haftung zum Bildträger verloren gegangen."
I found a good German definition:
Bildträger , andere Bezeichnung für Malgrund, auf den die Farben aufgetragen werden. Als Bildgrund Verwendung finden u. a. Eisenblech, Elfenbein (* Miniatur), Faserplatten, Glas, Holz (* Malbrett, * Tafelbild), Karton, * Keramik (* Lithophanie), * Kupfertafeln, Leinen (meist in Verbindung mit einem * Blendrahmen), Mauerwerk (* Wandmalerei) und Papier.
But what do you call this in English? If you suggest 'picture carrier', please provide reference to similar context.

substrate
Just as an alternative - Kim and Cilian have given good answers. You might like something a bit more "technical" in this case though, since you are apparently talking about the more techie side of painting restoration and not art critique (or creation).
From a restoration web page:

"The paint film begins to delaminate from the substrate, being pushed off by the accumulating efflorescence and water."
