This is being restored now and it is an Egg Tempera painting on Belgian Linen.
We are trying to restore as many of these murals as possible before they are destroyed and lost.
The restored mural now hangs at the Rowan County Public Library at 175 Beacon Hill Dr., Morehead, KY 40351
Thank you for this update. I’ve added the info to our entry.
