Hi Johanna As others have suggested, a specimen or magnified photo would be best to get a definitive name, but looking at your pictures, I am quite sure that the insect is a thrips (Thysanoptera). These insects regularly squeeze themselves into picture frames (they have evolved to insert themselves into very narrow spaces in the plants on which they feed). They will do no damage themselves, but occasionally a dead thrips can act as a focal point for mould, which may damage works on paper, so they are best removed from the frames.
