Dutch style curly frame. Ebonized wood. 17th century. Rectangular frame made of carved wood and decorated with a series of parallel bands of different widths, alternating plain ones with others of different sizes (waves), reminiscent of basketry. Both in its colour and in the decoration mentioned above, the piece follows Dutch models, very popular during the 17th century Baroque practically throughout Europe, and frames were made in other schools following these prototypes. Compare, for example, with the frame of the “Portrait of a Gentleman” by Hans Memling in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection (a Flemish piece, made of ebonized wood); or, in the same collection, with the frame of the work “Winter Scene with Skaters and Sleds in Front of a City” by Ruysdael; or with the “Vase of Tulips” by Philippe de Marlier and Frans Francken in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.
