Frame

ca. 1895–1900
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
Jacobson and Le Brocq made frames for many American artists who rejected ornate floral frames. This frame is derived from a seventeenth century Dutch crossetted-corner design. According to the inscription, the firm may have made this frame for Childe Hassam, though a picture of "Winter Midnight" has not yet been located.
