The Conservation of Gorian Dray (part 2) - Trowel 30

It’s part two of our quest to conserve the portrait of Gorian Dray, with special guest and professional conservation expert Jessica van Dam. But should we actually be conserving this portrait at all?

And where in this world is Gorian Dray? Tune in to find out!
