Sacred Heart of Jesus Framed Artwork

This item is a framed religious artwork depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus, likely a print or lithograph, given the uniformity of color and detail, and typical subject matter. The central figure, Jesus Christ, is shown in a bust-length portrait, gazing slightly to the viewer's right with a serene and compassionate expression. He has long, flowing brown hair, a beard, and a faint halo or radiant light emanating from behind his head. He is dressed in traditional biblical attire, featuring a deep red or orange tunic with prominent folds that suggest drapery, and a blue cloak draped over his left shoulder. His hands are positioned over his chest, gently cradling his Sacred Heart, which is depicted as a flaming heart encircled with a crown of thorns and topped with a cross, radiating intense light outwards. The background of the artwork is a dark, possibly black or very deep green, creating a strong contrast that makes the figure of Jesus and the glowing heart stand out prominently. The artwork is housed within a substantial, ornate wooden frame with a gold-tone finish, featuring carved or molded decorative elements along its inner and outer edges, typical of frames from the late 19th to early 20th century. The frame shows signs of age, including some visible wear, nicks, and possibly some loss of the decorative finish, particularly noticeable on the upper right edge. The artwork itself appears to be in relatively good condition for its age, though some surface dust or grime might be present. The specific manufacturing details, such as artist signatures or printer's marks, are not discernible from the image. Based on the style and religious subject matter, this piece likely dates from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The craftsmanship of the frame is a quality indicator, suggesting it was intended to present a significant piece of art.
