Abstract: Picture frame with framing bars connected to a base frame and with a device for mounting a picture which can be fitted within the base frame with lateral and rearward clearance to its framing bars on the base frame by means of retaining/spacer devices. The device for mounting a picture has a first profiled frame for holding a glass plate or transparent plastic plate and/or a passe-partout and/or a picture, a second profiled frame, whose external dimensions are smaller than the external dimensions of the first profiled frame, connected to and arranged beneath the first profiled frame, and a pressure plate pressing against the glass plate or transparent plastic plate and/or the passe-partout and/or the picture. The retaining/spacer devices can be inserted into the second profiled frame and connected to the framing bars of the base frame.
