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
The Quack," attributed to the renowned Dutch painter Jan Havicksz. Steen (1626-1679), captures the essence of the 17th century Dutch agricultural community in this vibrant oil on panel painting. The scene unfolds on the side of a country road, where an elderly man, dressed in the traditional garb of a quack doctor, sells his remedies to a diverse group of people. A quack was a popular figure during the Baroque era, offering unconventional medical treatments and cures, often using hoop and stick methods. In the foreground, a woman, possibly a farm laborer, holds a barrel, while a boy looks on curiously. Behind her, a group of men, including a farmer and his farmhand, engage in a lively discussion with the quack. Two boys play a game nearby, adding a touch of leisure to the otherwise busy scene. An elderly man, seated on a barrel, watches the proceedings with a knowing smile. The rich colors and lively brushstrokes of this painting transport us back to the Dutch Golden Age, a time of prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. The exterior setting, with its rolling hills and farmland, highlights the importance of agriculture in the daily lives of the people. The Quack serves as a reminder of the past, showcasing the occupations, professions, and pastimes of the Dutch peasantry during the Baroque era. This painting is a testament to Jan Steen's mastery of the Baroque style, with its dynamic composition, intricate details, and lively energy. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Dutch heritage art and European painting of the 17th century.
