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.

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 print showcases a portrait of Anne of Cleves, painted by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1539. Commissioned by King Henry VIII himself, this artwork played a significant role in shaping history. The painting depicts Anne, a German Protestant princess who was married to Henry VIII in 1540 for political reasons as advised by his Chancellor, Thomas Cromwell. However, upon meeting Anne in person after being captivated by her appearance on canvas, Henry found her considerably less attractive than he had anticipated. Consequently, their marriage was annulled after only six months. This portrait now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris and serves as a testament to the complexities of royal unions and the power art holds over perception. The image captures Anne's regal presence with exquisite detail. Her clothing reflects the fashion of the time - an elegant dress adorned with intricate sleeves and complemented by a majestic headdress that befits her status as queen consort of England. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into Tudor-era royalty and witness how appearances can shape destinies. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Holbein's artistic mastery but also provides insight into one of history's most intriguing marriages that shaped England's future course under Henry VIII's reign.
