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.

The Siesta, ca. 1892-94
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait created by the renowned French artist Paul Gauguin. This exquisite oil painting depicts a scene of relaxation and tranquility in the French Polynesia during the late 19th century. In this masterpiece, Gauguin skillfully captures the essence of a peaceful afternoon nap, commonly known as siesta. The focus lies on a Tahitian woman who reclines gracefully under the shade of lush greenery, surrounded by vibrant colors that evoke the beauty of her tropical surroundings. Gauguin's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid hues showcases his distinct impressionistic style, which was heavily influenced by his time spent in Tahiti and other islands in the Windward Islands archipelago. Through this artwork, he transports us to an idyllic world where time slows down and serenity reigns supreme. As we gaze upon "The Siesta" we are invited to embrace our own moments of respite and reflection. It serves as a reminder to appreciate life's simple pleasures amidst nature's bountiful offerings. This remarkable piece now resides within the prestigious walls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts from around the globe. Gauguin's legacy lives on through his ability to convey emotions through color and form, leaving an indelible mark on art history for generations to come.
