Frame. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. A rectangular frame with a semicircular finial at the top center, crowned by a composition of leaves and elements of the Passion of Christ (Crown of Thorns, Nails, etc.), decorated with a series of bands, alternating plain ones with two bands of different pearl strands. While the 18th century is known for Rococo, it is not the only artistic style of the period: the decoration and forms of the frame show a closer affinity with ancient Roman art, a common influence in Neoclassicism.
