I was wondering about the lack of signature, and the fact that her hair is almost covered by the frame - might the painting have been cropped?

TWELVE DAYS since you posted this and I’m the first person to comment on the frame you β€œjust happened to have lying around” at the end there?! I practically barked like a seal with laughter when I recognized it. (And it really did look good with the painting!) I hope the client lets you know what they decide to use, assuming they don’t choose one from your stock.

I was wondering if you've ever been asked to conserve a painting before that could not be moved, like a mural, for instance. What would working on a project like that even look like?
