DescriptionDark stained frame with stepped, chip carved elongated almond forms applied and radiant circles at or near the corners holds a print of the Madonna and Child, the Madonna with a large bouquet of lilies in her lap. Underneath reads "A Happy Easter." Surface coating over the image is pulling up the ink as it cracks.
