The damaged painting of Erasmus Darwin’s mother

A painting has returned to a Lichfield museum after repair work was carried out.

The portrait of Erasmus Darwin’s mother, Elizabeth, was badly damaged when it fell in February last year.

But a spokesperson for Erasmus Darwin House confirmed the painting had now been fully repaired.

> “Thankfully, our insurers were able to cover the majority of the cost to repair the portrait.  
>  
> “Due to the extent of the damage, the repairs were only completed at the end of last year.  
>  
> “We would like to thank Tadley Services Ltd for their wonderful restoration of the portrait, which is now safely back with us.”
