Sixth Plate

A COUPLE CHIPPED CORNERS! But the common plastic case really isn’t the reason why anyone would buy their sixth plate presenting a young mother with her two attentive children! Both siblings stayed close to their parent and carefully observed the operator while he made their image that has bountiful oxidation and mat scrapes. Blue was painted on the darling girl’s dress. Thin nearly invisible vertical wipes are seen in parts of the portrait. As an added embellishment, gold was applied to mom’s brooch. The original domed glass was used during the conservation. I can tell you that the reflected depth is superlative! My scan shows more flaws then you might see.
