catalogue 682 2. Anonymous, Our Lady of Grace of Cambrai , second half 16th century This late composition is a copy of a painting conserved in Cambrai Cathedral, itself a copy of a Sienese or Florentine byzantine model.

The join is strengthened with modern buttons. Light bevel on all four sides. Frame: rebate, with slotted mitred joints (two to four pegs per corner). Suspension holes in the upper rail. The frame has been stripped; small remnants of gold leaf on a red base, and of red lake.
