[QUOTE="blooey, post: 3357330, member: 12007"]The picture you posted is too small to make any real observations - other than it is a quality piece that has been restored, e.g. it has been backed with a fresh canvas support (relined). It is also possible that the painting has been reduced in size, but of course that is hard to tell from a small photograph. The use of corner triangular braces on the frame reverse is not a particularly common practice although I do see it quite a bit on frames put together in Scandinavia, however this doesn't look like a Scandinavian molding to me. The frame isn't original to the work and in my opinion crowds the painting and does nothing for it. Frame is a silver foil type with a yellow over lacquer, imitating gold leaf.[/QUOTE]
