Oil sketch on millboard.
Just needed a clean and the frame restored. In this case I replaced the frame with one I already owned.
Millboard is a generic term covering a wide range of hard, pressed, flexible paste boards. Millboards were first introduced in the late 18th century by English colourmen.

Anyway, a tatty,
