In my opinion, the frame is merely meant to isolate a painting from its background. Hence the wide frame. Because the painting has a timeless look to it, I choose a generic and relatively "timeless" frame, with similar colors in it. In my view, a delicate frame would compete, not enhance, the delicate subject matter.
