Frame
Original, by C. Bühlmayer, Vienna

Frame

The frame is one of a pair by this maker on two paintings by the artist. This one makes use of a shallow scotia leading to a sight edge defined by a bold rope border. The border has a distinct relationship to the tall trees in the painting. The two paintings formed part of the furnishings of an apartment designed by Adolf Loos for Jacob and Melanie Langer in Vienna in 1903. Furniture from the apartment forms part of the collection of the NGV.1 The frames, which are both restrained, are remarkably intact and carry the label of the maker centre bottom reverse.

Note

1 For details of the furniture see Decorative Arts in the International Collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 2003, p. 98.

The single ring for hanging is still in place at the centre top reverse.
