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
A Musical Party" by Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684) is a captivating Dutch painting from the 17th century, now housed at Apsley House in London, as part of the collection of Historic England. This masterpiece, catalogued as WM 1497-1948, showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing the warmth and intimacy of everyday life. De Hooch, a renowned Dutch painter, expertly portrays a lively musical gathering in this evocative work. The room is filled with the sounds of music and laughter, as a group of people come together to enjoy each other's company. The central figure, a young woman playing the virginal, wears an expression of focused concentration, while her companions sing along or engage in animated conversation. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the scene. The naturalistic colors and fine details of the clothing, instruments, and decorative objects add to the painting's authenticity and charm. "A Musical Party" is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of artistic and intellectual flourishing in the Netherlands. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to share in the joy and camaraderie of this musical gathering. This painting is not only a valuable addition to the collection of Historic England, but also a reminder of the universal human desire for connection and enjoyment. As we gaze upon the scene, we are reminded of the power of art to bring people together and inspire the imagination.
