17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

The Knife-grinder
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alexandre Gabriel Decamps is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the essence of everyday life in 19th century France. Measuring 38x51 cm, this artwork can now be admired at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this scene, we are transported to a humble yard where a skilled knife grinder diligently sharpens his tools. With his wheel spinning effortlessly and sparks flying, he expertly hones each blade with precision. His loyal companion, a dog resting nearby in its kennel, attentively observes the process. Decamps' attention to detail is remarkable as he skillfully portrays the textures of wood and metal through his masterful brushstrokes. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing our perception of space within this confined setting. This painting not only showcases an ordinary trade but also serves as a metaphor for perseverance and hard work. It reminds us that even in mundane tasks lies beauty and artistry waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon "The Knife-grinder" we are reminded of the timeless appeal of classical art forms. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of history while appreciating Decamps' talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
