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 captures the essence of winter through Michael Sweerts' masterpiece, "An Allegory of Winter". The painting depicts a scene that is both warming and bleak, evoking a range of emotions. In the foreground, an old man with a long beard sits beside a small boy, their hands clasped together for warmth. Their worn-out clothes and poverty-stricken appearance speak to the hardships faced during this wintry season. In the background, we see a middle-aged woman diligently sweeping while nearby stands a fire pit with glowing embers. The flickering flames provide some respite from the cold as they try to keep warm in their humble dwelling. The artist skillfully portrays the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing the harshness of winter's grip on this family. Sweerts' allegorical representation reminds us of the struggles faced by many during this time of year. It serves as a poignant reminder that not everyone has access to comfort or abundance during these colder months. Through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Sweerts invites viewers into this wintry scene where poverty meets resilience. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind Sweerts' work and reflect upon our own blessings amidst challenging circumstances.
