Beautiful artwork by Arthur J. Elsley, purported to be from his painting in 1909, it depicts a young girl fast asleep with her older sister and their dog waking her to participate in the Christmas festivities. The detail here is striking, from the peacock feather in the girl's cap to the eyes of the dog, to the snugly bedding that looks so comfortable. The sisters have the same glorious golden locks and cute little noses. The clothes and bedding indicate a well-to-do family and a cold winter, considering how bundled up they all are. While it is beautifully framed, the matting unfortunately covered up part of the picture. There is a photo of the entire scene included last in the photo list, where you can see the bed, signature, and the full dog's head and girl's hand that have been enclosed by the matting.

The print is elegantly framed with floral accented green matting in oak wood finish frame. (I cannot tell if it is wood or merely wood finish.) The framers have done an excellent job of matching the color of the matting to the colors in the painting, even if they did cover part of the picture. The frame and glass is in very good condition with no visible scratches or dents, except for one small scratch on the top of the frame that is only visible when you catch the light just so. The backing paper has warped and lifted a little on some edges, but it appears not to have affected the print. The sawtooth picture hanger seems to be solidly attached. 

The entire frame measures 19.5" wide and 23.5" long, with the glass section 15.375" wide and 19.5" long. The section of the art that is visible behind the matting is 10.5" wide and 13.25" long. 

Will be securely wrapped, doubled boxed and floated for shipping. The frame on its own is heavy, over 4Lbs.
