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.

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 Waterseller of Seville,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by Diego Velázquez around 1620, is a captivating masterpiece housed at Apsley House in London. This iconic Spanish painting, also known as "El Aguador de Sevilla," showcases Velázquez's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of everyday life with unparalleled realism and depth. Velázquez masterfully portrays a humble waterseller in the vibrant and bustling streets of Seville. The subject's weathered face, creased with the passage of time, conveys a sense of wisdom and resilience. His determined gaze and the slight tilt of his head suggest a quiet self-assurance. The waterseller's hands, deftly holding a large earthenware jug, reveal the strength and agility required for his daily labor. The painting's rich color palette and intricate details transport viewers to the sun-drenched streets of Seville. Velázquez's use of chiaroscuro, the interplay between light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the scene. The play of light on the waterseller's face and the shimmering reflections in the jug create a striking contrast that draws the viewer's eye. "The Waterseller of Seville" is a testament to Velázquez's ability to elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary. By focusing on a simple, everyday scene, he created a timeless work of art that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. This painting is a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of everyday life.
