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. 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 oil painting by Gabriel Metsu, titled "A Man and a Woman Seated by a Virginal" we are transported to the intimate setting of a music lesson in 17th-century Holland. The scene depicts a man and woman seated side by side, engrossed in their shared passion for music. The composition is beautifully balanced, with the virginal instrument taking center stage. As the man delicately plays the keys, his eyes meet those of his female companion, creating an unspoken connection between them. Their body language suggests not only their dedication to mastering the art of music but also hints at a deeper emotional bond. Surrounding them are objects that add layers of meaning to the narrative. A glass filled with wine stands on top of sheet music, hinting at indulgence and pleasure amidst their musical pursuits. This detail adds an element of sensuality to the scene, suggesting that these two individuals may be more than just teacher and student – they could be lovers sharing stolen moments together. Metsu's masterful use of light and shadow further enhances the atmosphere of intimacy within this artwork. The soft glow illuminates their faces while casting gentle shadows on their figures, adding depth and dimension to each character. This exquisite print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Metsu's brushstrokes. It invites us into this private moment between two people united through both love for music and possibly something more profound - an enduring connection that transcends time
