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.

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
by William McGregor Paxton is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the essence of domestic life in early 20th century America. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color brings this scene to life, showcasing the everyday work of a Chinese housemaid during the Qing Dynasty. In this enchanting artwork, we see a side view profile of the maid engrossed in her task, feather duster in hand as she delicately tends to an array of exquisite porcelain vases and ceramic figurines. The soft light filtering through the window illuminates her surroundings, emphasizing both her focused concentration and the ornamental beauty surrounding her. What sets this painting apart is not just its aesthetic appeal but also its deeper symbolism. Through "The House Maid". Paxton highlights themes such as literacy and education, as we observe the maid engrossed in reading a book amidst her duties. This portrayal challenges societal norms at that time when access to education was limited for many women. This print from Heritage Images serves as a visual testament to Paxton's artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments frozen in time with remarkable precision. It invites us into an intimate glimpse of history while celebrating the often overlooked contributions made by individuals like housemaids who played vital roles within households. Displayed proudly at National Gallery of Art Washington, this masterpiece continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking narrative about labor, culture, and empowerment.
