<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 6620142, member: 602"]In looking at the female silhouette around her eye and upper lip, it tends to look, to me at least, like the drawing was done on the background, and someone might have put something like a Vellum over them to maybe try and preserve them, but then they got exposed to sunlight, causing the cracking????? Is the cracked film STUCK to the portraits here & there??? Very perplexing....if you have an Art Museum near you that does conservation work, I'd take it there and see what they have to say about it!!! Good luck with it & would love to hear what an expert says if you do have it examined!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
