Decor: Openwork pediment with rich shell and scroll decorations, moulding adorned with a row of pearls. Structure & Back: Frame in wood and stucco. Original fir backing, very sound and solid. Finish: Beautiful golden patina from use with natural wear revealing the gesso in places. Cleaned and restored with respect to the old patina, ready to hang.
