- Do the paintings come framed?
- No, we send the paintings rolled in a hard plastic tube for maximum protection. To ship frames would also be very expensive and there is more chance of damage. We do have a selection of smaller paintings with antique frames.

About this painting
This beautiful and rare tray frame from the second half of the 19th century will easily stand the test of time for generations to come. Its unusual design with oval interior and red stamp base, chiseled and stamped with a geometric / floral motif matches the rebellious character of Van Gogh's Skull with a burning Cigarette.
A typical Italian frame, gilded with gold leaf and in good condition with just minor signs of wear over time. What a beauty.
The change of light during the day makes the frame come alive, which makes the skull appear to actually be smoking. Van Gogh’s serious personality, battling to become a recognized artist is pointed out most of the time. If only he knew his sense of humor is still alive too!
This special frame definitely deserved a replica done by one of our master painters. It may be your best alternative to the original painting in the Van Gogh Museum.
Frame size: 59,2 x 49,2 cm / 23.3 x 19.4 inch
Painting size: 42,2 x 31,8 cm / 16.6 x 12.5 inch
