A very rococo frame or border used as a chapter heading, this cartouche has cherubs on either side, a face laghing in the lower centre, fruits, vines, scrollwork, the whole deal. It says, in the centre:

RUBENS
EN AUTRICHE
Le Portrait

I also made a blank version without the writing, in case people wanted it for scrapbooking or something and don’t know how to edit out the writing.
