Introduction |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| Over the last
three years, I have treated numerous paintings for the Wisconsin
Historical Society, including John Singer Sargent's magnificent
"Portrait of General Lucius Fairchild," Robert Sully's
"Portrait of Chief Black Hawk," and a "Portrait
of Chief Osh Kosh" by Samuel Marsden Brookes. Conservators
can be rewarded during their treatment work with the discovery
of something hidden or unknown. This occurred during the treatment
of Thomas Sully's "Portrait of George Washington."
The following Case Study reviews the painting's historical context,
its treatment history, and a surprising find. |
