AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This gilded stucco frame on wood features a rectangular structure with an oval window framing a photographic portrait of a bourgeois lady. The decoration is rich in floral motifs and scrolls, with axial symmetry and pronounced relief, all applied in gold, probably using gold leaf or mixtion, a technique commonly used in ornamental frames of the period.
The decorative style does not strictly correspond to the French Regency (1715–1723), but is part of the 19th-century historicist eclecticism, with clear rococo influences. This type of ornamentation, with its lightness and exuberance, was highly appreciated by the bourgeoisie for commemorative portraits, reinforcing the social status of the portrayed individual.
The photograph shows a woman dressed in formal attire, with visible jewelry and a rolled-up document in her hand, possibly referring to an academic or social achievement. The overall conveys elegance, refinement, and a clear intention to portray dignity and status.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
