This is a chromolithograph print of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The artwork is a color lithograph, a popular technique for religious devotional images in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The print depicts the Virgin Mary with her heart exposed and flaming, symbolizing her intense love and sorrow.
It is set in a rustic, chippy over painted wooden frame that shows signs of aging, such as a "craquelure" or crackled paint.
The frame is held in the back with 2 older hooks and hung with cord.
The angle that the frame would sit against the wall makes it looks as though she is looking down on you.
This comes from a home in the Laurentians in Quebec.
There is some dirt build up in the lower corners.
I have cleaned the outside of the glass but there is a build up of dirt and paint in the corners and in the seams.
A professional cleaning will restore it.
The glass is wavy and easy to see on an angle that it is older glass but difficult to photograph.
There are slight bubbles in the glass as well.
