A portrait still life.....


Frame restoration is one of my jobs at the shop. The young girl died young in life and really is an unknown relative to the Halferty family.  The guy is a Kimery who came to the Minburn, Iowa with saddle bags full of money in the late 1800's.  Bought a farm along with his brother. Nothing more is known about him.
