Framed in a heavy dark wood frame, it is heavily textured with craquelure. The reverse shows the date September 1829 written during the Bourbon Restoration under the reign of King Charles X. Also showing a revenue stamp priced at 1.25F. It was common to use these deed and contract documents by artists and framers to back original paintings at the time.
