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
This print showcases the "Portrait of the Artist, 1750" by Anton Raphael Mengs. The artist's contemplative expression is beautifully captured in this quarter-length portrait, as he gazes away with his brown hair framing his face. The image exudes a sense of darkness and solemnity, perfectly reflecting the nocturnal atmosphere of the artwork. Mengs, a German painter from the 18th century, was known for his artistic temperament and creative activity. In this portrait style drawing, he appears pensive and deep in thought, embodying the essence of an artist lost in contemplation. His posture suggests both aversion to distraction and intense focus on his craft. The photograph transports us back to mid-18th century Germany when Mengs was at the height of his career. It offers a glimpse into the mind of an artistic genius during that time period. Displayed indoors against a dark background, this portrait emanates an aura of mystery and intrigue. Its fine details are brought to life through black chalk on paper medium. Overall, this print captures not only Mengs' physical appearance but also hints at his inner world as an artist. It serves as a reminder of how art has transcended time and continues to inspire creativity today.
