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 portrait captures the essence of Purniya, the esteemed Chief Minister of Mysore, in the early 19th century. Painted by Thomas Hickey, an Irish artist known for his remarkable attention to detail, this oil on canvas print showcases Purniya's dignified presence and authority. Purniya is depicted wearing a vibrant turban adorned with intricate patterns that reflect his status as a high-ranking official. His gaze is steady and focused, exuding confidence and wisdom. In one hand, he holds a scroll - symbolizing his role as a custodian of important documents and knowledge. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, highlighting the contours of Purniya's face while adding depth to the overall image. The rich colors used in this painting further enhance its visual impact. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into India's colonial past. It serves as a testament to both Purniya's individual significance within Mysore society and the broader historical context in which he operated. Hickey's masterful brushstrokes capture not only Purniya but also evoke an atmosphere that transports us back to 1801 when this portrait was created. This piece stands as a timeless tribute to an influential figure who played an integral role during an era marked by political change and cultural exchange between Britain and India.
