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.

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 watercolour on vellum, titled "Mrs. Holland (lady in waiting to Elizabeth I), aged 26,1593" by Nicholas Hilliard, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Queen Elizabeth I's court. The subject of this portrait is believed to be Mrs. Holland, although her true identity remains uncertain. Painted with meticulous detail and skill, Hilliard captures the essence of Mrs. Holland at the age of 26. Her elegant features are framed by an elaborate ruff collar that was fashionable during the Elizabethan era. This exquisite costume suggests that she may indeed be a lady of high status within the royal court. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond clothing; he masterfully portrays Mrs. Holland's expression and demeanor as well. Her gaze exudes confidence and intelligence, reflecting both her own character and perhaps the influence of being in close proximity to Queen Elizabeth I herself. As we admire this miniature masterpiece now housed in London's Victoria & Albert Museum, we are transported back in time to a period when power dynamics were intricately woven into every aspect of life at court. Through this painting, we catch a fleeting glimpse into one woman's experience as she navigates through the complexities and intrigues surrounding England's iconic queen. Though questions about her true identity persist, there is no denying that Mrs. Holland leaves an indelible impression on viewers today just as she did over four centuries ago when Hilliard first captured her likeness on vellum.
