This is the final part of restoring Mr Croxton. We apply a barrier varnish and begin the retouching process. We restore the antique carved frame and then start to look a little more closely at where he has come from and see if we can pin point further who he is through family connections and think about who the artist may possibly be.

Fabulous work, as always! I appreciate seeing all the research you did, and watching the road trip was fun. I think it’s kind of cool that the mystery of Mr Croxton hasn’t been completely solved - it allows a healthy dose of room for the imagination to speculate on the possibilities.

I'm new to your channel and have subscribed. I've been watching Julian of Baumgartner Restoration. I'm in the States. Very nice restoration.

Wow--what a cool idea to look into the other items in the auction--that really helped narrow down the options! Would never have thought to do that. Another lovely restoration.

Great restoration. Your detective work is very interesting. I have a light hobby of tracking down people (not for nefarious purposes) with whom I’ve lost contact and have had a lot of success. But to watch you track down people from centuries ago is fascinating to follow. I look forward to your next long project.

Amazing that this painting sold for just £400 at auction last year. I don't know how long the restoration took, but it must have cost at least ten times this.
