FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

In this mesmerizing image, we witness a group of soldiers standing across from a group of women inside an arsenal. The tension between them is palpable as they face each other with determination and curiosity. Ships can be seen off in the distance, hinting at the backdrop of war and warfare that surrounds them. Küsel's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. The intricate stage set transports us to another time and place, while his skillful etching technique brings depth and texture to each character. This historic snapshot not only showcases German heritage art but also highlights the concept of performance as a form of entertainment during the 17th century.
