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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 18th-century Chinese painting titled "China: Emperor and Lute" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of enchantment. Tsi Chou, an emperor of the esteemed Liao Dynasty, is depicted playing a pipa, also known as a Chinese lute, within the serene confines of his garden. Surrounded by villagers who have been granted access to this intimate performance, the emperor's music resonates through the air. The artist masterfully captures both the grandeur of imperial life and the simplicity of human connection. The vibrant landscape serves as a backdrop for this extraordinary scene where power and artistry converge. As Tsi Chou strums each string with precision and grace, his audience listens intently, their faces reflecting awe and appreciation. This painting not only showcases the talent of its creator but also provides us with a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture. It highlights how entertainment was used as a means to bridge societal divides - here we see an emperor engaging with commoners through music. As we observe this historical masterpiece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, it becomes evident that art has always had the power to transcend time and space. Through brushstrokes and colors carefully chosen centuries ago, we can still feel the emotions evoked by Tsi Chou's melodies today.
