Antique Sepia print scene of Joseph holding the infant Christ in which the artist depicts the baby Jesus in a surreal and spiritual heavenly semi-transparency. Joseph's adoration and love is artistically depicted.<p>Print is mounted on a uniquely shaped and ornately carved, gilt and gesso piece of solid Mahogany. Crafting has a one-of-a kind appearance and expert execution with the charm of old world Germany. We believe the print itself is Italian. Frame with a motif of primitive floral garland follows the flow of the domed shape top. Green leaf vines flow downward on both sides of the middle border. Middle border is stippled and textured. Sepia is framed with a dentil motif and outer frame motif of spaced V carvings. The entire surface is a separate layer of gesso applied to the wood sepia mounting. Floral garland has a wash of color as do the trailing leaves. Heavy gold paint covers the entire front of the mounting. Back is stained.<p>Measures 20.5 inches long with a 12.5 inch width. Rated to be in near Fine condition with two specs of color loss on the print itself and relative to age. We estimate, based on subject and style, circa late 19th Century. Unknown artist and craftsman.<p>
