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. 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
This portrait captures the enigmatic and charismatic figure of Louis Charles Alfred de Musset, a French poet and playwright whose literary contributions left an indelible mark on 19th-century European literature. Born on December 11, 1810, in Paris, de Musset's early life was marked by a privileged upbringing and a passion for the arts. He was a prolific writer, penning both poetry and plays that explored themes of love, desire, and the human condition. De Musset's distinctive appearance is on full display in this portrait, with his piercing gaze, well-groomed beard, and an air of intellectual intensity. His profile is framed by a high collar and a dark, tailored coat, adding to the sense of refinement and sophistication. The artist's deft use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast between the illuminated subject and the dark background, drawing the viewer's focus to de Musset's expressive features. De Musset's literary career began in earnest in the 1830s, and he quickly gained a reputation as a leading figure in the French literary scene. His most famous works include the play "Fantasio" and the collection of poems "Poésies diverses." De Musset's influence extended beyond the literary world, as he was also a prominent figure in Parisian society and was known for his many romantic relationships with prominent women of the time. Despite his many accomplishments, de Musset's life was not without its challenges. He struggled with addiction to opium and was plagued by financial difficulties throughout his career. He died on March 2, 1857, at the age of 46, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to inspire and captivate readers to this day.
