Lithograph of a woodland path, gilt frame, with embossed foliage decoration, 1950s

Lithograph, Undergrowth by the Path, gilt frame, relief foliage decoration, 1950s. France. Lithograph "Undergrowth by the Path" — antique gilt frame. This lithograph, enhanced with color (the copper plate mark and hand-applied highlights are clearly visible), is signed in pencil and numbered. The overall effect is a soft and melancholic atmosphere, typical of modernist landscapes from the 1950s to the 1970s. The print is presented in a magnificent gilt frame of wood and stucco, decorated with relief foliage on a wide molding. Its patinated gilt leaf offers beautiful contrasts between matte and glossy, exactly what is needed to highlight the colors of the lithograph. This type of highly detailed profile is reminiscent of frames in the taste of the late 19th to very early 20th century (circa 1900–1930). On the back, an old label from the frame maker Trousson & Cie, 7 Contour Saint-Martin, Roubaix, confirms that it is a period frame. A mid-century lithograph, majestically presented in a Belle Époque/Art Deco gilt frame, with authentic charm and ready to take its place in your home.
