Antique wooden frame and silhouette is a beautiful subject and so nice to put in your home, childs room, library, or book shop! A wonderful baby gift to encourage reading to baby. A mother sits in chair in front of a Palladian window reading to her boy who is sitting on a stool. Over his cow-licked head is an image partially seen of a painting.The frame is also black, carved wood details with a bit of brown from the wood peeking out in traces in 1 or 2 small spots. The back of this old piece is aged and soiled at the top as you can see by the hang hook, but does not appear to have been damp or wet. It looks more like it has aged from the metal or been placed against something else metal that transferred to the backing cardboard. No damage to the face of the piece or images,except a few pinprick size spots. Very old, pre WW2. 7"1/2"x 5"1/2" Good condition.
