Cleaned portraits

It’s always a happy moment when an old portrait comes back from the restorer looking a million dollars! This is especially the case with our Sir James, whose charismatic features have been revived, as he surveys the vicissitudes of the family he did his best to bankrupt! Medina charged about £10 for a half-length portrait, and this is one extravagance we are grateful for.

See below for Before and After versions! This portrait was probably bigger, and was cut down to match the other portraits when they were hung in the huge dining room at Whitehill House.
