<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 4508424, member: 3235"]The frame looks period to the work and is likely it's first and only frame - very ornate which was the standard 120 years ago. Many folks switch out to a simple frame on such works today, which opens up a debate whether this should be done or not. Pictured is an ornate frame removed from a Van Gogh self portrait by a major museum in favor of a simple gold frame, citing that the ornate frame distracted from the painting ? ?
