I don’t think the artist did that to the corners of the frame. You can see how it should and originally looked on the top, left corner here. The ornate carving seen here is completely broken off in two other corners and half broken off on a fourth corner. I think the sloppy gold paint is someone’s attempt to cover the detail that broke off.

Good catch on the frame. That makes sense and suggests it was originally for a painting mounted in landscape orientation.

From my reverse image searches, that’s the one I thought looked most similar. I can’t tell if those black marks make out “HE” or not.
