FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Angelica Kauffmann's self-portrait, "Allegory: Design Listening to the Inspiration of Poetry," is a captivating work of art that showcases the Swiss artist's exceptional talent and creativity. Painted in the early years of her career, around 1781, this circular allegory depicts Kauffmann in the character of Design, dressed in a white robe and holding a lyre, as she listens intently to the inspiration of Poetry. The sepia tones and intricate details of the artwork transport us back in time to the 18th century, when Kauffmann was a resident artist in Rome. Born in 1741 in Switzerland, Kauffmann moved to London in 1766 and later to Rome in 1781, where she became a prominent figure in the art world. Her works were highly sought after by collectors and patrons, and she was known for her ability to paint historical and mythological scenes with great accuracy and depth. In this self-portrait, Kauffmann masterfully blends the elements of design and poetry, two essential components of art, in a circular composition that invites the viewer to explore the image further. The allegorical figure of Design, with her thoughtful expression and attentive posture, embodies the creative process and the importance of inspiration in the artistic endeavor. This stunning print, with its rich history and intricate details, is a testament to Kauffmann's artistic genius and her enduring legacy in the world of art. The sepia tones and white accents add to the timeless quality of the image, making it a must-have for any art collection or historical archive.
