The frame features classic molding and a lustrous gold finish that complements the warm tones of the oil paint, making it a ready-to-display statement piece. Please note that the painting is sold without the frame, which will be provided free of charge as a gift upon purchase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting shows significant signs of age, including a vertical tear on the right side with associated paint loss and flaking. The paint surface exhibits craquelure throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 70,5cm x 48,5cm.
