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
In this print titled "Embracing Couple Mercury Lara" created by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz Muller between 1588 and 1594, we are transported to a moment of intimate connection. The artwork, measuring 18.7 x 21.7 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in using black chalk, pen and brown ink, brush with brown wash, and white gouache on light brown paper. The scene depicts an embrace between two figures identified as Mercury and Lara. Their bodies intertwine gracefully as they lean into each other with tenderness and passion. Muller skillfully captures the delicate details of their facial expressions—their eyes locked in a gaze that speaks volumes about their deep affection for one another. The use of heightened white gouache adds a luminous quality to the composition, enhancing the ethereal atmosphere surrounding the couple. The choice of medium allows for subtle shading and texture variations that bring depth to their forms. Muller's work invites us to contemplate themes such as love, desire, and human connection across time periods. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this intimate moment shared by Mercury and Lara—a testament to the enduring power of love throughout history. This print from Liszt Collection is not just a mere reproduction; it is an opportunity to own a piece of artistic brilliance that transcends commercial value—an exquisite portrayal of emotion frozen in time.
