Three men sitting around a table in an inn, with wooden benches lining the walls, raising glasses of port in a toast, the cloth having been drawn, with a stove on the left, playbills pasted on the walls, holly branches decorating the room.
Comes complete with original, very early wooden and slightly battered looking frame with no glass. Since I took photos I have taped the back to secure the frail frame back panels.
The Passepartout is damaged, dirty and stained. The inner wooden lining strips are gilded gold and have some damage and are loose.
The area outside the engraved picture is marked with a small tear that does not impact the image.
The picture is loose in the frame.
Please examine photos for further clarification of condition.
