[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 528814, member: 8258"]Looks like a sepia wash with white highlights and it's very faded. In terms of restoring, you're only going to be able to do so much with it. You could have the tears stabilized. If it's not framed already, you'd be best served by having a good frame shop frame it. Putting it under glass and keeping it from sunlight will help preserve it. If it is framed, hopefully it has an acid free mount. What are the dimensions and how did you come across the piece?[/QUOTE]
