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.

The Christening, 1896
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Russian artist Petr Korovin. This beautifully detailed artwork depicts a significant moment in the life of a peasant family as they celebrate the baptism of their baby. The scene takes place inside a humble log cabin, adding to the authenticity and intimacy of the occasion. The composition focuses on the central figures: the proud parents holding their child, surrounded by relatives and friends who have gathered to witness this sacred ritual. A priest stands before them, wearing traditional vestments and preparing to administer the sacrament. The room is filled with an atmosphere of reverence and joy as prayers are said and blessings bestowed upon the newborn. Korovin's masterful use of light brings depth and warmth to this intimate interior scene. Sunlight streams through small windows, casting soft rays onto faces adorned with headscarves worn by women in attendance. Every detail - from intricate patterns on clothing to expressions on each individual's face - tells its own story within this larger narrative. This print captures not only a religious ceremony but also highlights elements of rural Russian life during that time period. It serves as a reminder of traditions passed down through generations and celebrates both faith and community bonds. Displayed at Moscow's prestigious Tretyakov Gallery, "The Christening" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of love, faith, and familial connections that transcend time and culture.
