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
is a captivating oil painting by George Morland that depicts a poignant scene from 18th-century England. In this evocative artwork, we are transported to a time of stark social contrasts and the struggle between wealth and poverty. The focal point of the painting is a beggar woman accompanied by her young child, both dressed in tattered garments that reflect their destitution. They stand before an opulent door, symbolizing the vast divide between the privileged class and those living in abject poverty. A squire on horseback can be seen in the background, highlighting the stark contrast between his luxurious riding outfit and the beggar's threadbare clothing. The presence of a loyal dog at her side adds an element of companionship amidst hardship. Morland masterfully captures not only the physical disparity but also conveys emotions through his brushstrokes. The viewer cannot help but feel empathy for these marginalized figures who rely on charity for survival. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of society's responsibility towards its most vulnerable members. It prompts us to reflect on issues such as inequality, compassion, and our duty to extend support to those less fortunate than ourselves. "The Squire's Door" is housed within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in America—a testament to its enduring significance as an artistic representation of societal disparities during this period.
