March 2010
A painting in the collection Augusta of Saxe-Gotha by Jeremiah Davison c. 1738, has recently been conserved, thanks to a generous grant from the Woodmansterne Art Conservation Award.

 

The painting was cleaned, and then re-lined. The overpaint was removed, old damages were filled and retouchings in watercolour carried out. Finally it was re-varnished.

 

The painting is displayed in the Banqueting Room in the Guildhall, Bath.
