What is a "picture frame"?
A picture frame is a structure, usually made of wood, metal, or plastic, that surrounds and supports a photograph or artwork.

Picture frames come in various shapes, sizes, and styles, and often feature a glass or acrylic cover to keep the image safe from dust and moisture.
