Many of Tonnesen's Victorian/Edwardian parlor scenes were sold in extremely ornate frames such as this one. Usually, the frames were of a dark, somber color, and this one was probably repainted. The print is unsigned, but can be identified as Tonnesen's work. The clock, distinctive for its heart motif, appears in a number of signed Tonnesen prints. The print is titled "The Playmates."
