Cleaned and suitably framed.
Charles Compton
Charles Compton 1828 - 1884. Horrible repair. Stuffed with black acrylic paint over a thick, rigid, canvas and without a frame.
I found the self-portrait as sold in 2011, which will make it easier to restore!
Work in progress ...
Charles Compton, self-portrait and finished.

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.
