[QUOTE="bob531, post: 2970797, member: 17274"]I can do alot of the work myself but im weak on retouching/ paint infill. The white is the gesso ground. I paid very little for it, probably due to the size ,it is pretty heavy also with the frame. It had been in a country house antic rooms for decades ,probably in damp humid conditions and that has caused the zinc or lead in the flesh tones to blister and force the paint off, all the other paint is fine but stabilising of the paint layers etc..is needed but it will be a big side project.[/QUOTE]
