Painting of the Blessed Virgin in Water Gilded Frame. Carefully examine all of the photos attached. The painting is very high caliber. It resembles an illuminated manuscript from centuries past. The madonna, wearing light blue, is "framed" in a trompe l'oeuil carved, inner surround. The actual frame is equally fine which is a testament to the astute work of the water gilder, an all but defunct trade. While many frames of this kind are in fragments, this one is surprisingly intact, with some repair and minor loss near the top.
Approximate Dimensions: 19"H X 13 1/4"W X 5"D
