Portrait - Digital restoration
Digital restoration: USA 1880s (?)
For a restoration project such as this, where information is missing from the original, but where I'm not working for a client, my aim is to achieve credibility, not necessarily authenticity. The headless man on the far left of the original has been assisted by 5 other men in the image who have kindly donated various body parts and items of clothing.
