Frame. Carved wood. Late 17th century-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a “base structure” of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (on the inside, a gold band with fine plant details towards the corners; next, a thin red one, and another wider green one, these last two imitating marble; on the outside, another fine gold molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of plant elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the longer sides and a very elaborate cresting with plant elements, rocailles, volutes, flowers and imitation fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, the terracotta from Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum). A series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added to it, showing the influence of the Baroque (it recalls in certain details works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano in the Cathedral of Malaga).
