Antique frame on a holiday souvenir
It is not the usual method of framing paintings bought on holiday, but I think this antique French style moulding frame works very well and is an interesting contrast on this fun painting. The frame is heavily distressed water gilding, with the gesso and wood exposed in places, the whole surface has been protected and stabilised with a consolidating adhesive, to stop any more losses to the surface.
