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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artwork titled "The Sense of Smell" by Philippe Mercier, we are transported to a world rich in detail and narrative. Painted on canvas with oil, the Franco-German artist skillfully captures a scene filled with various elements that evoke our olfactory senses. At the center of the composition stands a young woman, dressed as a milkmaid, holding a basket brimming with ripe melons. Her loyal dog sits faithfully beside her, his nose raised in curiosity. Surrounding them are birds fluttering about and an exquisite rifle leaning against a long gun nearby. Engrossed in conversation, two figures engage in animated discussion while enjoying the fruits of their hunting expedition. The painting exudes an atmosphere of leisurely pleasure and camaraderie. Mercier's attention to detail is evident not only in his portrayal of human subjects but also in his depiction of animals and objects. Every element seems meticulously placed to create harmony within the genre piece. "The Sense of Smell" invites viewers to imagine the scents that fill the air - from freshly cut melons to earthy woods after hunting. It reminds us how our sense of smell can transport us back in time or awaken forgotten memories. This print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Mercier's talent for capturing moments that appeal not only visually but also through other sensory experiences like smell – all without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
