One of the last picutres of my mother showed her seated, contemplating, and smiling in a sepia toned photo. Originally  I had something else in mind for this frame, but it turned out to fit her picture perfectly.  The layered frame looks very good with the raised matte.  I wish  the frame were perhaps a bit narrower. But that is just a personal preference, and takes nothing away from the charm of this textured piece.  I'm quite happy with it.
