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
The Kite," painted by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1777 and 1778, is a captivating and enigmatic masterpiece housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. This exquisite artwork, a testament to the artistic brilliance of the 18th century, showcases a lively scene of a group of elegantly dressed Europeans engaging in the playful pastime of flying a kite. The painting is set against the backdrop of a grand, old building, its intricate facade adorned with ornate details, adding a sense of sophistication and grandeur to the scene. The figures in the painting are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, their clothes a vibrant contrast against the muted tones of the building and the surrounding landscape. At the center of the painting, a gallant gentleman skillfully maneuvers the kite, his focus intently on the sky as he attempts to keep the colorful paper creation aloft. Nearby, a young woman playfully flirts with another man, her gaze coyly directed towards him as she adjusts her clothing. A dog, perhaps belonging to one of the figures, looks up at the kite with curiosity, its ears perked up in interest. The painting's title, "The Kite," is a simple yet evocative description of the scene, yet it belies the complexity and depth of the artwork. Goya's masterful use of light and shadow, his attention to detail, and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion make "The Kite" a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
