The frame on Schenck’s Anguish (purchased 1880 for £1,200) is with little doubt the frame in which the painting was shown at the Paris Salon of 1878. It is in scale and grandeur every bit a Salon frame. All the decorative work is cast and the gilding intended to create the impression of solid metal.
