This beautiful antique print is stunningly framed. The print depicts a grecian scene. An enraptured philosopher is holding court in the right portion of the scene. His audience seems to be filled with musicians. A blonde haired woman holding a tambourine is draped over a bench. She is holding the hand of a man dressed in a striking blue gown. A harp is resting at his side. Leaning against the far wall is a young man wrapped in a cloak. Perhaps of most interest is the man resting at the philosopher's feet. The man is dressed in a short, featd dress. His head is propped on his hand as he gazes up at the philosopher. The print measures 4 1/2" by 9 1/4". The print uses brilliant colors that accentuate the lovely, ornate frame and apprars to be of a later vintage than the frame itself. The frame is made entirely of wood. It is a lovely gold gessoed piece. The patina is exquisite..Our best guess is that it is from the late 1800's. On the reverse side of the frame is a label which reads "From W.P. Fuller & Co., 7th and F Sts., San Diego, Cal.- Paints, Oils, Glass, Wall Papers, Mirrors, and Picture Frames". The frame measures 7 3/8" by 12 1/4". The frame has some very minor paint loss and the tiniest corner of top left corner is cracked off. The print is mint. Although the print and frame work beautifully together, the frame is so unique, read more
