Frame. Carved wood. Late 17th-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a “base structure” of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (inside, a golden band with fine vegetal details towards the corners; then, a thin red one, and another wider green one, these last two imitating marble; outside, another thin golden molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of vegetal elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the longer sides and a very elaborate cresting with vegetal elements, rocaille, volutes, flowers and imitation of fabrics (which join with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green, and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, the Salamanca terracotta made around the mid-16th century by Juan de Juni, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum). A series of carvings with great movement and depth have been added to this frame, showing Baroque influence (it is reminiscent in certain details of works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano in Málaga Cathedral).
