Very Intricate Detail showing scenes from Victorian age. Focal paint is an era-dressed woman in her living room with a couch and pillows, portrait pictures on the wall and even a cat! Around her along the border are multiple life scenes such as the style of bicycles one large wheel with man riding and even a double seater.
Telephone, jack in the box with blocks, doll in chair, baby stroller with teddy bear, teapot, clock, and phonograph, kerosene lamp with tea cup and soldiers with drum.

Detail work is exceptional from the white stripes on man’s shirt, to the flame in the street light and Writing Almanac on the book just to name a few.

The amount of these details truly allows you to picture this life!

The frame is in good condition. I can envision this in a larger Victorian-style frame to match the scenes and showcase this beautiful handiwork!

This is a great example of ‘use what you have’ framing. The backer board is a painted art panel.. much better than cardboard! So you have two art pieces! This may not have been the artist doing the framing. Family may have found this work of their grandmother’s and just put it together with what they had to enjoy!

Better left to new owners regarding new framing and at that time change out the backing. less
