Artworks touched up after a little home-maid damage
Now, it has been dusted off properly – one of four artworks from the Doncaster country house to undergo preservation work as part of a long-running programme of conservation by its owner, English Heritage.
The painting was treated at the Fine Art Studio in London, where experts were able to remove the smear by gently cleaning the surface, while also renovating the gilt frame.

English Heritage said its intention was to conserve, not restore, Brodsworth’s art so that they could remain on display.
A spokesman said: “Visitors can enjoy the interiors of this 1860s house and immerse themselves in its stories.”
