In typical Fabergé design, the rectangular opening for the picture is bordered by bead and dash pattern, while the outside border is likewise designed with a classical pattern, set in each corner with a rosette. In between these, the area is overlaid with a chased guilloché surface enameled a most unusual shade of greyish blue and this is overlaid with rich gold festoons and shell motifs. Bears a fancifully designed gold easel.
