Apron Bad News Correspondence Gloomy Head In Hand Melancholy Morose Pensive Unhappy Upset Maid Thinking
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
In this photograph, titled "The Letter (w/c on paper)", we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of domestic life. The image portrays a young maid, her face etched with melancholy, seated at a table engrossed in reading a letter. Her head rests heavily in her hand as she absorbs the contents of the correspondence before her. The composition exudes an air of gloom and sadness, hinting at the possibility that the news within the letter is not favorable. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe every nuance of emotion on the maid's face - from pensive contemplation to unmistakable unhappiness. Set against an interior backdrop typical of 19th or early 20th-century households, this portrait captures both the vulnerability and strength inherent in those who served others during that era. The apron worn by the maid serves as a visual reminder of her role as a servant within this domestic setting. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we cannot help but wonder about the circumstances surrounding this scene. What could have caused such profound sorrow? What thoughts occupy her mind? Walter Langley masterfully invites us into his subject's world, leaving us captivated by her story and longing for more information. This print from Fine Art Finder is truly an exquisite piece that speaks volumes about human emotions and experiences transcending time itself.
