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 painting, titled "The Physicians Visit" by Jan Steen, is a masterpiece of Dutch Golden Age art, currently housed at Apsley House in London, as part of the collection managed by Historic England. Created between 1658 and 1662, this work of art showcases Steen's unique storytelling abilities and his keen sense of humor. The scene unfolds in a chaotic and lively household, where a pregnant woman lies in bed, surrounded by a multitude of physicians and apothecaries. Each doctor seems more eager than the next to examine the patient, while her anxious husband looks on in desperation. In the background, a nurse tends to a crying baby, and a servant girl brings in a tray of medicinal potions. Steen's use of color and light adds depth and energy to the composition. The warm tones of the room contrast with the cooler blues and greens of the outer world, drawing the viewer's attention to the chaotic scene within. The intricate details of the clothing, textures, and expressions on the faces of the characters reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail. "The Physicians Visit" is a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the Dutch middle class during the 17th century. Steen's ability to capture the human condition, with all its humor, chaos, and vulnerability, makes this painting a must-see for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike. This masterpiece is a testament to Steen's artistic genius and an enduring reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Golden Age.
