The most conspicuous figure is that of an old man seated at a table in front of a window, his head bowed and his hands folded in his lap. The second figure is that of an old woman tending a fire in an open hearth." (Wikipedia) Gilt wood and gesso frame, ornately molded with scrolling foliate and flower designs.

"Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606[– 4 October 1669), mononymously known as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. He is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of Western art.
