The domed plaque is mounted on its original deep burgundy velvet mat and presented in a vintage oval gilt and gray wood frame, framed in Chicago by Thiemann’s Picture Framing, 2609 Peterson Ave., with an early telephone-exchange label reading “Longbeach 1-1782”.

The portrait shows fine detailing in the sitter’s face, hair, and costume, with a glossy fired surface and visible ground edge consistent with quality European porcelain plaques produced for the decorative art market. A gold-tone metal easel stand, as shown, is included for display on a mantel, console, or bookshelf, making this a ready-to-style accent for traditional, Old World, or Grandmillennial interiors.
