FS2S and a house

This old photo was an enlargement of a tiny photo we had.It shows my grandfather and his sister around 1895 in front of their house.I've painted through a doiley using gesso mixed with white paint to create the lacy edge.Then added flourished ribbon plus flowers to co-ordinate with the title.
