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.

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 exquisite mezzotint print, titled "The Virtuous Comforted by Sympathy and Attention," is a beautiful and poignant depiction of compassion and empathy from the 18th century. Created by the skilled hand of Valentine Green, this masterpiece is an impression of Edward Penny's original painting, published by Robert Sayer and John Bennett in London during the Georgian era in 1775. The image captures a domestic interior, filled with soft, muted colors that create a sense of warmth and tranquility. The central figure, a virtuous woman, sits on a chair, her face etched with sorrow and despair. She is surrounded by a group of women, each offering her comfort and support. Their expressions are filled with genuine concern and sympathy, their hands reaching out to touch and console. The background of the print is simple yet effective, with delicate details that add depth and texture to the scene. The use of white space around the figures creates a sense of balance and harmony, drawing the viewer's attention to the emotional connection between the women. The mezzotint technique, a method of etching that uses a tool to roughen the surface of the copper plate, creates a rich, velvety texture that enhances the depth and contrast of the image. The intricate details of the women's clothing, the folds of their skirts, and the texture of their hair are all rendered with remarkable precision and care. This print is a testament to the power of human connection and the importance of offering comfort and support to those in need. The image transcends time and continues to resonate with viewers, reminding us of the enduring value of compassion and empathy.
