I struggled with your photo so I have about 10 different versions mostly binned now  :-X , so here are two which hopefully are acceptable to get started with.


Shame about the size of the original it makes it difficult to retain the features (eyes) due to the tape marks and to stay true to the actual photo and recreate the photo like for like....so anyway here is an artistic interpretation of the photo.


Its a good challenging photo for sure for restorers  ;)
