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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1875 oil on canvas painting titled "Hanging the Laundry out to Dry". Berthe Morisot beautifully captures a domestic task that was common in the French countryside during that era. The scene depicts two women, presumably laundresses, meticulously hanging freshly washed clothes on a line under the warm summer sunshine. The idyllic provincial landscape serves as a contrasting backdrop to the encroaching industrialization in the distance. A smoking chimney from a distant factory hints at the changing times and highlights the contrast between rural simplicity and urban development. Morisot's impressionist style shines through in her loose handling of brushstrokes, creating an atmosphere of movement and spontaneity. The vibrant colors and play of light evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity. This small-scale artwork measuring 33x40.6 cm is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. It showcases Morisot's talent for capturing everyday scenes with sensitivity and grace. "Hanging the Laundry out to Dry" not only immortalizes a mundane household chore but also invites viewers to appreciate moments of quiet beauty found within ordinary tasks. This timeless piece continues to captivate audiences with its delicate portrayal of women's work against both natural and industrial landscapes.
