This framed painting was in a recent gallery exhibition, it has come to me to have the corners fixed, three of which have large gaping mitres. On looking at the back of the frame I was surprised to see that none of the corners had any wedges, nails, screws, biscuits, or fixings of any kind. Only glue had been used, so it is not surprising that the corners are coming apart so badly. I can only hope that the framer who made this frame forgot the fixings in just this frame, and not in all the other frames in the exhibition. Even with the frame looking like this, the painting (about 16" x 20") sold for £2100
