I would be curious to know the provenance behind this piece.
It does my heart good to see that much of the community now [rightfully] recognizes this style as a forgery. When I first pointed it out almost a decade ago, I was really raked over the coals for daring to doubt the apparent source.
This style filtered through several well-known US auction houses and dealers. I wasn't aware that Frohman sold them as well. That said, the point of origin appeared to be Germany.
