Back then as now,, if you bought a frame,, you got a print with it !!  Many used them just as we do today for decoration !!  Not all could have photo`s done !!

I never knew that! I think I know where the gold came from. Will post a photo later.  ;)

Here's the ones I have that I was telling you about, snowflake.  Mart, I think mine also probably came with the frames.

They are both gold painted wood frames, but one has like soldered metal decorative pieces attached to it.

The one with the boy has like paint over the print, like the leaves and stuff are textured and applied whereas the photo is a print.  It measures 12"x17.75".  The one with the lady is a print.  The piece measures 12"x16".

Couple of more pics.  Haven't started trying to find anything out about these yet, but the print of the children reminds me of your oval print.

You might find this interesting, and maybe get a clue to further your search.

The picture on the right looks like it could have been inspired by yours, or vise-verse

Those are so cute, GG! I see gold was the in thing back then. Sometimes I thought that his Great aunt ran around the house with a spray can and did it herself!
I meant to post a photo here to explain why. I found a print on a piece of board, on the back, I could see test smudges of gold brush strokes! It got me to think maybe she went over this print with it!

BOB! Wow, thanks. The people in it looks so similar! I wonder??? That's as close as I have seen yet! Much appreciated!  :)
