Very beautiful vibrant colors in a vintage wood frame. Although the marking on the back of the piece of art states it was reframed in 2000 I believe the frame is still the vintage frame as shown in photos.
A very nice historical piece of art for a study, library or a gallery wall in a stately East Coast home.
