In the lower left corner also appears the image of a sprite / fey like being holing a mustachioed man's head on a tray. Champagne gilt frame with carved ripples; beige mat.

"François, Vicomte de Curel (10 June 1854 – 26 April 1928), French dramatist, was born at Metz, Moselle. He was educated at the École centrale Paris as a civil engineer, the family wealth being derived from smelting works. He began his literary career with two novels, L'Ete des fruits secs (1885) and Le Sauvetage du grand duc (1889). In 1891 three plays were accepted by the Théâtre Libre." (Source: Wikipedia)
