Description
A client brought a print of a painting, that is more than 100 years old, into my gallery. It was in extremely poor condition, due to water stains, tears and acid deterioration of the paper. He asked me to restore it, which I did. When he picked up the reconditioned print, he was so pleased that he asked me to paint a new one. I did so, signing my work after the original artist, Tojelli. I later discovered that the signature was actually that of Virgilio Tojetti.

The print by Tojetti hung in my mom's family home. The print went to her brother after her parents passed, and she asked if I could find one for her as she always loved it. I've had difficulty finding her an original print, so this is a wonderful alternative! Thanks so much!
