Detail Description

The reverse of the frame displays the inscription of the date 7 Februarij Ao 1759. Above it are traces of a long text, which was erased in the past and therefore illegible. An engraved text with date usually indicates that the object was intended as a gift for a special occasion, in Dutch a so-called pillegift.
