We know very few things about M. Devoe but we do know that he/she framed their work in picture frames with mirrors around the frame. Almost all of the Devoe paintings I have seen, including the ones I own, are missing the mirrored pieces. Often pieces of the mirrors are there, or evidence of the glue used to fasten them to the frame but never a complete mirrored frame - until now.

I too have one of these M Devoe original mirror-framed paintings. However, mine has gold molding between the frame and the picture. It has a small crack in the upper right corner of the mirror frame, but other than that it's an pretty good condition. It was given as a gift to my husband's grandmother back in the 50s.
