Frame. Ebonized wood, metal. Dutch school, 17th century. It has faults. A slightly rectangular frame made of ebonized wood and decorated with a series of smooth moldings of varying widths, decreasing in height towards the inside. Of particular note are the depth of the frame and the two metal pieces (with distinctive shapes and an external crest) used for hanging it on the wall. Both its color and the aforementioned decoration indicate that the piece follows Dutch models, which were very popular during the 17th-century Baroque period throughout much of Europe, and frames were even produced in other schools based on these prototypes. Compare, for example, with the frame of Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Gentleman" in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection (a Flemish piece, made of ebonized wood); or, in the same collection, with the frame of Ruysdael's "Winter Scene with Skaters and Sleds in Front of a City"; or with the frame of Philippe de Marlier and Frans Francken's "Vase of Tulips" in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.
