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.

Two Courtesans at a Window,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating work of art by the Swiss-born painter and printmaker John Henry Fuseli, dates back to the year 1790. This intriguing composition, created in ink, wash, and watercolor on white paper, showcases the versatility and mastery of Fuseli's artistic skills. The reverse side of the print bears the intriguing titles "Three quarter-length Figure" and "Head (both of Mrs. Fuseli)." The image depicts two courtesans, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, gazing out of a window with a thoughtful expression. The window, framed by heavy curtains, provides a glimpse into their intimate world, filled with luxury and refinement. The courtesans' attire, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, speaks to their affluence and status in society. Fuseli's use of ink, wash, and watercolor creates a striking contrast between the bold, dark lines and the delicate, ethereal quality of the watercolor. The courtesans' faces, rendered with great detail and sensitivity, convey a sense of melancholy and introspection, adding depth and complexity to the scene. The presence of the reverse side of the print, featuring studies of Mrs. Fuseli, offers a fascinating glimpse into Fuseli's artistic process. It is a testament to his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects, both in their individual portraits and in the context of a larger composition. "Two Courtesans at a Window" is a captivating work of art that invites the viewer to ponder the lives of these enigmatic figures and the secrets that lie behind the closed window. Fuseli's mastery of various mediums and his ability to evoke emotion through his art make this a truly mesmerizing piece.
