The image [login to view URL] is the source image that you should work from. This is a photograph taken in recent times of an original oil painting from around 1819. The other image that I have attached, [login to view URL] is NOT for you to work from. I have provided it for two reasons. First, it shows the area that I want you to crop to when doing the restoration. Second, it shows you what I don't want: harsh outlines and harsh shadows such as there is under the nose. I want the finished image to be soft and feminine. You'll have gathered that the lady is wearing a bonnet with a feather in it. Be sure not to destroy the featheriness of the feather, this is an important feature showing the fashion of the time. I should like the background to become a matt shade of grey. I want the finished image to be delivered as a jpg file.

Hi, this is a beautiful piece and the direction is very clear. Restoring historical portraits like this requires a careful balance between cleaning the image and preserving its original softness and character. Work has included restoring old paintings and photographs where maintaining natural tones, delicate textures, and period details was essential. For your portrait, the focus will be on softening harsh shadows, refining skin tones, preserving the feather detail in the bonnet, and creating a smooth matte grey background while keeping everything true to the original style. The final image will feel clean, subtle, and feminine without any over processed or artificial look.

Hi there, If the restoration isn’t done carefully, the painting could lose its charm and delicate features, making it look harsh instead of soft and feminine. I’ve seen many restorations go wrong in this way, but I know how to bring out the beauty while maintaining the original style. Your project involves cropping the image and softening the details, especially the area under the nose and the feather in the bonnet. - The final piece will have a gentle and elegant touch. - The background will be a smooth, matte grey to enhance the painting. - The feather will remain detailed and true to the fashion of the time. I have experience in photo retouching and digital art, using Photoshop to create soft and refined images. I’m confident in delivering a restoration that aligns with your vision. Send me a quick message and let’s talk about your project. Even if it’s just to explore ideas, I’m happy to help. View my portfolio https://www.freelancer.com/u/taskra
