It's been recently framed with a dark gold wood frame that has a deep blue inside one of the gold recesses giving it a fresh but vintage look. A robin's egg silk matte with a thin gold surround highlights the etching. The image is of the Château Theveray in Normandy, a wonderful pink brick chateau topped with blue slate. A young man and his new bride stand before their inheritance, a 500 year old family legacy at the time. The detail is exauisite and there is much to discover as the workers take a break frum cutting timber, horses roam and there is an air of tranquility. The château was built in the 1200s as a fortress and still stands today and this is one of many enchanting moments over the centuries that has been lovingly preserved by the artistF. Benoist. The engraver and lithographer is Lith Chament et Edit Nantes. Measures 14 x 12 overall and the image itself is 9 x 7". From France, circa late 1800s. See less
