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 self-portrait, Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin invites us into his world as an artist. Created in 1771, the pastel on paper print titled "Self Portrait with Spectacles" showcases Chardin's remarkable talent and attention to detail. The artist gazes directly at the viewer, his eyes framed by a pair of spectacles that add a touch of intellectual sophistication to his appearance. His face is illuminated by soft light, highlighting every wrinkle and line that tells the story of a life dedicated to artistry. Chardin's choice of medium allows for delicate nuances in color and texture, bringing depth and realism to his own likeness. The scarf draped around his neck adds a sense of elegance while also hinting at the practicality required during long hours spent painting. As we admire this self-portrait, we are reminded not only of Chardin's technical skill but also of the introspection inherent in creating such personal works. Through this image, he captures both vulnerability and confidence – a testament to the complex nature of being an artist. Displayed prominently in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this masterpiece continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. It serves as a timeless reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us intimately with those who came before us.
