Frame. Ebonized wood, metal. Dutch school, 17th century. It has faults. Slightly rectangular frame made of ebonized wood and decorated with a series of smooth mouldings of different widths that decrease in height towards the interior. It is worth highlighting both the depth of the frame and the two pieces of metal (with particular shapes and a crest on the outside) that serve to hang it on the wall. 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.
