When the de Gelder was acquired in 1934 it was framed in an eighteenth century style French Louis XV frame. This frame was fabricated in composition on a wooden chassis, gilded and toned.
The painting was cleaned and restored in 2017 and fitted-up in its new frame in 2018. This reproduction ebony scotia frame was made in London. This style of frame was widely employed in the Netherlands in the 17th century.
This frame has been generously supported by Carol Sisson, Member, NGV Foundation.
