Portrait of Miss Berrien
This Portrait undergoes a complete conservation.

View 1 Miss Berrien when she first visited the studio, not quite the same lady she was in 1838. A little surgery is just what the doctor ordered.	Click image to enlarge

View 2 All that is shown on the back was saved for the client. It is a hand written description of former restoration completed.	Click image to enlarge

View 3 This view shows just how a wrinkle in time is not exactly the best thing for such a lovely young lady, considered in her time the most beautiful lady of South Carolina.	Click image to enlarge

View 4 The left eye and bridge of her nose are nearly gone.	Click image to enlarge

View 5 The neck is in about the same condition.	Click image to enlarge

View 6 This view shows more of the fine wrinkling with a small hole.	Click image to enlarge

View 7 This view is just after the lining has been completed. The wax still shows which has bled through in the lining process.	Click image to enlarge

View 8 This view details how much of the wrinkling flattens out in the lining process.	Click image to enlarge

View 9 This view shows the old canvas border on the new canvas and some of the cleaning has started around her neck.	Click image to enlarge
