Speakers will include Nicole Ryder, Susan North, Karen Hearn and Holly Tatham.
According to their website:
The event will feature a panel of experts who will explore the painting’s restoration within the broader context of Wright’s oeuvre and 17th-century British material culture. This is a rare opportunity to view an important example of Wright’s work, which is not normally on public display.
