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 Jan Havicksz Steen that beautifully captures the essence of Dutch urban life during the Baroque period. The scene depicts a middle-class burgher and his daughter standing on their stoop in front of an opulent canal-side house. The father, identified as Adolf Croeser, exudes success and status with his refined attire and confident demeanor. His daughter, Catharina Croeser, stands beside him with an air of innocence and youthfulness. Their double portrait symbolizes not only their familial bond but also their position within society. Steen skillfully portrays the stark contrast between wealth and poverty in this bustling cityscape. A beggar can be seen in the background, highlighting the moral complexities of this prosperous era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate architecture to the play of light on the buildings. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of both charity and sympathy towards those less fortunate. It invites viewers to contemplate societal divisions while appreciating the beauty found within everyday life. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "The Burgher of Delft and his Daughter" is a testament to Steen's mastery as well as a window into Dutch Golden Age artistry. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era filled with prosperity, ambition, and compassion.
