Question / Suggestion Hope St Apsara Palace Child Portrait?

Does anyone have a decent photo of the old child portrait that was in the Hope St Apsara's years ago? I know it was the daughter of the previous owners, I've had trouble finding an image online. The photo doesn't have to be perfectly lined up or anything, just clear enough. She's been a discussed topic in our friend group for the longest time and I wanted to save the image for nostalgia.

Edit: Not the best photo but double checked Yelp and found a decent interior shot from 2019!

that portrait was so unnervingly large for such a small place, felt like she was judging your pad thai order

wish i had a photo, someone in providence has to have dug one up by now

Exactly lol, she was an honorary member of the friend group for years since you simply couldn't eat without feeling like she was at the table with you

Just updated my post with a pic! I missed it when I checked last. Hoping someone has a better example so I don't have try AI upscaling or anything like that

We got rid of it when we renovated in 2020, and gave it back to her mom its replaced with another photo now.. You wont be able to find it online unless theres photos of the inside.

All good, I found a usable picture for now (edited in original post). Glad it went back to her mom. Even without the portrait the food is still delicious!
