2.2 Passive


All of the sentences in the paragraph are written in ACTIVE voice... Re-write the paragraph in PASSIVE voice.


Mr. Owen Gibbon has discovered a valuable oil painting in the attic of his house in Rochester. George Stubbs, the famous animal artist, painted the work in 1760. Mr. Gibbon’s great-grandfather bought the picture in the 1890’s, but after his death, the family stored it away in the attic. Art historians are examining the painting. They have valued it at £500.000. Mr. Gibbon has offered the work to the National Gallery, where experts will restore the picture to its former beauty. They will finish the restoration work in June.
