Something like this: A few ways of attempting an outline
My suggestions:
1. Carfully remove most of the background, either an inverted selection (as shown) and a white fill or just carefully paint in white.

2. Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur, a smallish value 10 to 12 This is to smooth out the blemishes in the paint.

3. Colors -> Threshold and carefully pull the slider over to the black (left) side until you get a result. I think 85-90 is good.

Still plenty work to do, dive in with a small brush and touch up the remaining blemishes, but it is your masterpiece, take your time.
