We are!  On the right, Boy with Grapes, by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792), is the 45th painting examined in the paintings conservation lab over the last eighteen months for the British catalog project. That means we are about two-thirds of the way through the British paintings collection at CAM.

Of course, other works continue to visit the lab for our paintings conservator to examine and conserve. On the left, we are examining The Old Folks (Mother and Father) by American artist John Steuart Curry (1897–1946) before it goes out on loan later this month.
