English portrait

English portrait Circa : 1850. Frame in terrible condition. Seems to be acrylic over-painting on her hair, - apart from that, she's no beauty, and for that 'sin' she was pennies at auction. She'll be fun...
Cleaned, old over-painting removed and set in another less damaged frame. This is her original hair, a chestnut colour and now with the centre parting positioned to its original. The veil across her right cheek was in acrylic paint - no idea of the purpose of that. So she has the same eyes, cheeks, brow and hairline - but she has had a nose job and an upper lip plumper-upper - oh and a new bonnet.
Anyway, here she is, finished.
