Frame
This frame is in the form of a Canaletto frame using low relief carved timber, characteristically worked into a shallow ogee profile (or ovolo, as here) at the corners and centres leaving unadorned panels in between.
This frame is not the first presentation of the painting. It appears in a Louis XV revival swept edge frame in a photograph from 1918. Given the painting came into the collection in 1910, it is likely the Canaletto frame was put on the painting by the NGV sometime after 1918.
