My great-grandfather Napoleon
This is my Québécois great-grandfather Napoleon Comartin in 1926. Everyone should have a relative named Napoleon. Builds character!
I think his portrait is interesting because the artist had some great dimensional shading on the face, but the shirt and tie look flat. I’m guessing the medium is oil pastels? Not entirely sure on that.
This image is a restored version that my dad commissioned a few years ago. The original drawing (which I currently have) was around the house when I was a kid, but its oddly-shaped frame is gone now and it looks like it’s been around the block a few times.
My dad didn’t know that I would develop the skills to do photo restoration, otherwise I’m sure he would have let me do it. 
One of these days I’m going to have to scan the original and see how my restoration compares to this one.
