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
A Musical Moment in Time - The Lute Master This exquisite 17th-century print captures the essence of a man deeply engrossed in the art of music, as he skillfully plays the lute. The image, believed to have been created around 1640, offers a glimpse into the world of the lutenist, an essential figure in the European musical landscape of the time. The man, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, sits comfortably in a high-backed chair, his posture reflecting the poise and concentration required to play the intricate melodies on the lute. His left hand deftly plucks the strings while his right hand frets the neck, creating a harmonious blend of sounds. The lute, with its distinctive pear-shaped body and long neck, sits comfortably in his lap, its strings resonating with the music. The print, with its rich details and vibrant colors, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of tranquility and creativity. The man's intense focus and the captivating music he creates serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art and music to connect us with the past and enrich our lives. The lute, an ancient stringed instrument, was a popular choice among musicians during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Its versatility and ability to produce a wide range of tones made it an essential instrument in the musical repertoire of the time. This print, with its intricate details and authentic portrayal of a lutenist at work, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of music during the 17th century.
