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
Peasants Going to Work," a captivating masterpiece by Jean Francois Millet, painted in 1863, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of rural France during the 19th century. The black and white etching and drypoint on warm grayish wove paper, created in the Barbizon School style, depicts a couple, a man and a woman, making their way to the fields with their essential farming tools. Dressed in simple, practical clothing, they carry a garden fork between them, a metaphor for their partnership and shared labor. The man wears a hat, shielding him from the sun, while the woman's dress is adorned with intricate patterns, hinting at the rich heritage and tradition of their agricultural community. The barren, rocky terrain in the background emphasizes the challenging conditions they face as they head out to work the land. This powerful image, with its timeless appeal, continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring spirit of the agricultural worker. The art institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this significant work in its collection, a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving and showcasing important works of art from various artistic movements throughout history.
