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 exquisite still life painting, titled "Still Life with Chickens and Eggs," dates back to the 17th century and was created by the talented Italian artist, Giovanni Battista Recco. The scene presents a rich and intriguing tableau of poultry and eggs, arranged on a worn wooden table with various furniture elements and a sack in the background. The central focus is on a red and white checkered tablecloth, upon which rests a woven basket filled with freshly laid eggs, their pristine white shells contrasting against the vibrant yolks. Two chickens, one alive and perched on a hanging sack, and the other dead, with its head turned upside down, are positioned nearby. The broken eggshells scattered around the table add to the sense of freshness and abundance. This painting is a visual representation of the age-old proverb, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" which has puzzled philosophers and thinkers for centuries. The use of oil on canvas technique and the meticulous attention to detail are characteristic of the Old Master tradition, making this work a valuable addition to the artistic heritage of Europe, specifically the Dutch and Italian schools. This masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
