Reads like an oil painting, but is actually a print acquired in Milan, Italy. The frame dates back to the late 1800s.

The marquetry style wood/ebonized and gilt interior bordered frame is a beauty. An old world classic among the modern takes the formulaic vanilla right out of the home equation.

From the iconic B. Altman Gallery of Fine Pictures Old Master Collection / Fifth Avenue back in the day.
Marked "In the collection of Edward Knight, Esq. (London) The Picture is in the Gallery at Dufseldorf".
Some chips along the gesso frame border, but inconsequential to this beautiful engraving.

In an old gilt wood from with some character chips, this lovely floral is far from "sweet". A graceful piece of character for home.

Oh to have lived back then. Simply pretty against an architectural background. Old print / new mat & frame.

Matted & framed.
