Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball near perfect condition

near perfect condition

A portrait of disappointment if ever I saw one

which happens to have the largest collection of tinsel paintings anywhere

5 3/8” t x 3 1/4” w x 1 1/2” d

and holding together fine

Frowning Girl with Spaniel, Antique Tintype, Framed as Found red ball near perfect conditionThe first photo here shows this tintype framed exactly as I found it with the left corner of the tintype stuck in front of, rather than behind, the paper mat of the frame. I really like the effect, lending a different sort of dynamism to the photo, and with the shape formed evocative of a raindrop or teardrop, perhaps. (Of course one can do what one wishes with it; it will slide in fine behind the mat to be framed with an oval.) Great image I think,
