Framed Print of 'The Children of Charles I' or similar artwork of putti/children

This item is a framed print, likely a reproduction of a classical painting depicting two cherubic young children. The print itself features two figures with rosy cheeks, soft features, and curly hair. One child, presumably a girl given the perceived drapery style, is positioned in the foreground, looking directly at the viewer with an innocent expression. Her hair is reddish-brown and curly, and she wears what appears to be a light-colored, possibly white or cream, garment with intricate lace or ruffled details around the neckline and sleeves. Her left hand is visible near her neck. The second child is partially obscured behind the first, looking towards the foreground child with a curious or admiring gaze. This child also has dark, curly hair and appears to be wearing a light garment, possibly with blue accents, suggested by a visible ribbon or trim. The background is dark and indistinct, focusing attention on the figures. The print is housed in an ornate, oval-shaped frame that appears to be made of gilded wood or a resin composite designed to mimic gilded wood. The frame features intricate floral and foliate carvings or moldings around its inner and outer edges, suggesting a Rococo or Victorian revival style. The gilding has a rich, antique gold tone with some areas of darker patina, enhancing its aged appearance. The print is protected by glass, which shows significant glare and reflections in the provided images, making a full assessment of print quality and any potential damage to the print itself difficult. The frame appears to be in good condition, with no obvious major chips or cracks visible, although minor wear to the gilding might be present given its style and likely age. The overall aesthetic suggests a decorative piece intended for a traditional home setting. Given the subject matter and framing style, the estimated age could range from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century for the print and frame as a unit. No visible artist's signature, printer's mark, or other distinguishing manufacturing details are discernible from the provided images.
