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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Anna Margareta von Haugwitz c. 1650" offers a glimpse into the life of Countess Anna Margareta von Haugwitz, a German noblewoman who married Swedish general Count Karl Gustav Wrangel of Salmi in 1640. Painted by Matthaeus Merian the Younger, this oil on canvas print measures 107x88 cm and is housed at Skokloster Castle in Sweden. The image portrays an intimate moment with Anna Margareta, who is depicted as pregnant and seated. She holds a lamb tenderly in her arms while resting her hand on a globe—a powerful symbol of Christian devotion and eternity. This composition beautifully captures the countess's deep religious faith and her role as a mother-to-be. Countess Anna Margareta von Haugwitz was known for her devout nature and aristocratic status within seventeenth-century European society. Her marriage to Count Wrangel led to the construction of Skokloster Castle, which stands as a testament to their union. In this painting, we see Anna Margareta adorned in exquisite costume with ringlets cascading down her shoulders. The symbolism behind each element—her pregnancy, the holy lamb representing purity, and the globe signifying eternal salvation—creates an atmosphere of reverence and anticipation. Through this artwork by Merian, we are transported back in time to witness an expectant noblewoman's quiet contemplation amidst her confinement. It serves
