The painting is housed in an elaborate, highly decorative gold-tone wooden frame with intricate scrollwork and floral motifs, typical of late 19th or early 20th-century European aesthetic movements. The back of the painting shows a paper label with "Reinhold Ruschke, Garmisch-Partenkirchen" and an address, suggesting the artist's origin and potentially a gallery or framer.
