You'll have to excuse my ignorance. What is over sketching and why would it be done? I haven't even seen the original as it's in the UK and I'm in Australia. I will be sharing your work with my aunt who has it in her home.

Hi, I posted this picture during the week for dating advice. After also having spoken to a great aunt, we now believe this to be my 2xgreat grandmother who lived in Swansea. She was found in my great grandmother's attic in this terrible state. Would anyone be good enough to try and make her look nice again please, it's a sad state she's in.

Might have to rethink the identity then. Thank you

Thank you Jim1, now that you mention it there is a similarity,  particularly around the mouth. Could 1896 be considered Edwardian-ish, maybe done just before she died?

My aunt found these family portraits in her grandmother's belongings when she passed away years ago. We believe the man and the lady in the hat are either her parents or grandparents.
We are either looking at:
James Bowen (1856-1923) who was a watchman at the docks later in life, and his wife
Annie M Morse (1854-1896) both from Pembrokeshire.
Or
James Bowen (1820-1870) a master mariner from St David's, and his wife
Ann Davies (1826-?)
The damaged portrait we believe to be my great grandfather's mother. Her name was Mary Jane Arnold (nee Rees) (1872-1931) from Swansea.
Any help with dating these portraits would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Carol, I appreciate your thoughts. I think I will have to reconsider who this could be. For it to be James it would have to be earlier.
