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 17th-century oil painting titled "The Dutch Housewife or, The Woman Hanging a Cockerel in the Window" we are transported to the quaint world of a Dutch household. Created by Gerrit or Gerard Dou, this masterpiece measures 26.5x20.5 cm and is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris, France. The scene depicts a dutiful housewife going about her daily chores with meticulous attention to detail. Standing near an open window adorned with delicate lace curtains, she delicately hangs a cockerel from its feet outside the window frame. This peculiar act adds an intriguing touch to the composition, leaving us wondering about its symbolic meaning. As we explore further into the painting's details, we notice various objects that enrich our understanding of domestic life during this period. A birdcage dangles from above while a pewter urn and copper basket rest on nearby surfaces. These elements provide insight into both practicality and aesthetic choices within Dutch households at that time. The warm glow of candlelight casts gentle shadows across the room as our focus shifts towards the woman herself - her serene expression revealing contentment amidst her daily routine. "The Dutch Housewife" offers us a glimpse into an era where simplicity met elegance and everyday tasks were elevated through artistry. It serves as a reminder of how even mundane moments can be transformed into timeless works of beauty when viewed through skilled hands like those of Gerrit or Gerard Dou.
