From Ruff to Refined - Part 2 AD FREE
🕑 Added 2023-11-19 06:00:02 +0000 UTCHiding beneath an old and heavily discolored natural resin varnish exists a stunning Elizabethan portrait of a woman telegraphing her wealth and status. But to truly see her as she wished to be seen, we must first transform her from Ruff to Refined.

I was wondering about the lack of signature, and the fact that her hair is almost covered by the frame - might the painting have been cropped?
TWELVE DAYS since you posted this and I’m the first person to comment on the frame you “just happened to have lying around” at the end there?! I practically barked like a seal with laughter when I recognized it. (And it really did look good with the painting!) I hope the client lets you know what they decide to use, assuming they don’t choose one from your stock.
I was wondering if you've ever been asked to conserve a painting before that could not be moved, like a mural, for instance. What would working on a project like that even look like?
