Arched fireboard with woodblock-printed reserve in center containing landscape vignette with violinist: reserve formed by series of cyma curva-cyma reverse lines; scene of two girls holding each other while standing under a trellised gateway and watching a traveling musician play and his two poodles in eighteenth-century costume "dance"; chateau and town in background; reserve surrounded by delicate filagree decoration on light-brown background (gives illusion of stamped bather); border of roses pieced together to accommodate arched top.
