1913 Family Portrait

This group portrait is based on an old photo taken in 1913 and handed down thru several generations to the present owner.  The photo was not in pristine condition, and yet, the family wanted to display it.  To solve this problem, they commission me to do a drawing of it so that the flaws could be removed, it could be enlarged, and finally the image could be proudly displayed.
