Presented in a gilt wood frame. Verso retains a gallery-style label reading “Denholm \u0026amp; McKay Co., Boston Store, Worcester, Massachusetts, Picture Galleries, No. 1244,” indicating retail gallery sale or framing through the well-known New England department store chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition shows scattered surface wear, light abrasions, and age-related toning consistent with an early 20th-century decorative work.
