Paly (1889-1979) is framed in a beautiful 19th century frame. The gouache dates from the early 20th century and conveys the french attitude to life with just a few brush strokes.
the frame is colloquially called "berliner bar". (or thus wash gold strip, or schinkleiste) the frames of this type mostly come from the middle of the 19th century and are novadays very popular for framing modern art and graphics in particular.
real "berliners" are not gold-plated, but silver-plated (on chalk ground). They get the gold tone with a coating of yellow-gold varnish or other lightly colored coatings. This makes the gold wonderfully "washed out" and in no way kitschy or osttatiaus.the oxidized silver leaf leads to black areas that give the play of colors its special and unique touch. "berlin lasts" should actualy be called "prison" lasts, because that is exactly where they were made. This piece has an attribution mark,
