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
This print showcases "The Idle Servant" a remarkable painting created by Nicolaes Maes in 1655. Held in The National Gallery, London, this artwork is a true gem from the Dutch Golden Age. The image depicts an interior scene where a servant is seen slumbering on the tiled floor of a kitchen. The artist skillfully captures the exhaustion and idleness of the servant through his masterful use of color and composition. In this seventeenth-century portrait, Maes beautifully conveys the concept of sleep and rest as essential elements within one's occupation. The servant's hand gesture suggests complete surrender to fatigue, emphasizing their dedication to their profession even during moments of repose. Published in Haldane MacFall's renowned book "A History of Painting" in 1911, this print has become an iconic representation of Maes' talent and artistic vision. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication speaks volumes about its significance within art history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of 17th century Holland. We can almost feel the coolness of the tiled floor beneath us and sense the tranquility that envelops both subject and viewer alike. Through this photo print, we not only appreciate Nicolaes Maes' exceptional skills but also gain insight into life during that era – where even servants were immortalized through art for their unwavering commitment to their duties.
