23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 portrait, titled "Portrait of a Bearded Man, Bust Length, in a Fur Trimmed Coat and Black Hat" is an exquisite example of 16th-century British art. Painted circa 1547 by John Bettes the Elder (fl. 1531-76), this oil on panel masterpiece showcases the artist's skill in capturing intricate details and conveying depth. The subject of the painting, an elderly man with a majestic beard and grey hair, gazes away from the viewer with an air of aversion. His fur-trimmed coat and black hat add to his distinguished appearance, while wrinkles on his face tell stories of wisdom and experience. Bettes' expertise in portraiture shines through as he meticulously portrays every strand of hair and wrinkle on the sitter's face. The use of color adds richness to the composition, enhancing the texture of both skin and clothing. This particular print captures all these nuances beautifully. Measuring 34.2 x 21.5cm, it allows us to appreciate Bettes' attention to detail up close. Displayed against a dark background that accentuates its elegance, this portrait evokes a sense of timelessness. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to mid-16th century England when such portraits were highly sought after for their ability to immortalize individuals through paintbrush strokes. It serves as a testament not only to Bettes' talent but also to the enduring power of art throughout history.
