I have worked with images like this before. To be honest with you the lack of detail on the image as classic as it is will just result with a not textured image still without detail ! I'm sure this isn't the news that you wanted to read but honesty is the best policy

It looks as though it's had a canvas effect added at some stage. It would be difficult to work with, or get any more clarity, with this effect - that said, there are some quite brilliant restorers on here.

A bit of paint makes them stand out a little, but doesn't make it much clearer.
