Frame for RCIN 407812, After Master of Hoogstraten, The Virgin and Child with Saints Catherine and Barbara

This minimalistic design is meant to evoke an older style that would fit with many of the paintings that came in the Oettingen-Wallerstein collection.

They were probably made for Prince Albert in the 1850s.
