This portrait was enclosed in glass and the frame was damaged. We repaired the damage caused by the pins holding in the glass, and arranged for the restoration of the frame.

We were asked if it were possible to brighten up this much-loved painting from the 19th century, originally bought in a little art gallery over twenty years ago.

Studio Study for head and shoulders from larger painting, deliberate under-painting of the hands

Jesus is condemned to death

The painting has candlewax dripped onto it, which required removal and retouching before the final coat of varnish

The painting had severe flaking paint at the bottom which had to be stablised, filled and re-touched before the final coat of varnish It had been badly relined in the past, and this also was repaired
