Project #6

This is a fabulous project completed in the homeland last week.
 Dear Old Dad was an art historian by trade, and he collected some original artwork along the way; mostly prints and engravings. What we had when he died were prints/engravings from approximately 1700-1750 which we took to an auction house. My sister and I felt that they were rather plain and had they been in color they would have been much more desirable; so we colored one in with colored pencils, as you do.

After

We did not send the more colorful version of this print to auction, 
preferring to keep it for ourselves given
the obvious improvements we had made.
