The portrait is presented in an impressive ornate oval giltwood frame, decorated with carved foliate motifs and a prominent ribbon-and-bow crest.

A label on the reverse attributes the painting to A. Van Antro (1856–1893), identified as a Flemish painter known for portraiture, including portraits associated with the Danish Royal Family. The artist's middle name is misspelled on the label, and the attribution is offered as documented provenance rather than independently confirmed.

The dark background and restrained palette of the portrait provide a striking contrast to the richly gilded frame, making this an especially handsome decorative and collectible piece.
