<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 9747518, member: 23"]The closeups are too pixilated to see details and I'd be interested in seeing clear ones. We have a portrait of one of Jon's ancestors from 1834. We have provenance because it's never left the family. Her face is so well done. Then you look at the lace and pearls. I believe parts of this were overpainted at some point. Also look at the red around her fingernails. With the fine detail on the eyes and what I can see of the dress, that doesn't seem right.</p><p><br /></p><p>We had a museum qualified restorer work on ours because the paint had dried, cracked and was 'cupping.' She did a marvelous job and now he's ready for another 200 years. She also removed some overpainting and it's amazing when you see the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
