Instant Ancestor – Antique Oval Gentleman Portrait in Navy Frame

Meet your newest ancestor. This moody, early-1900s portrait of a well-dressed gentleman sits under glass inside a narrow navy frame with a dotted/beaded inner trim. The image is mounted on a gray mat with an oval window—perfect for a haunted-mansion gallery wall, study, or dark-academia vignette.
