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
Portrait of a Woman (1670s) by Nicolaes Maes Artist: Nicolaes Maes (Dutch, 1634-1693) Description: This stunning portrait, created by the Dutch painter Nicolaes Maes in the late 17th century, captures the essence of feminine beauty and grace. The woman depicted in the painting is shown in three-quarter view, her gaze fixed on the viewer with an enigmatic expression. Her elegant attire, consisting of a richly textured gown and a lace collar, speaks of her affluence and refinement. The intricate details of the fabric, the delicate folds, and the subtle shading all serve to bring the subject to life, making her seem almost tangible. Maes' mastery of oil painting on panel is evident in the way he has captured the play of light and shadow on the woman's face and the folds of her clothing. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting, making it a true masterpiece of Dutch Baroque art. The portrait is believed to have been painted in the 1670s, a period when Maes was at the height of his creative powers. His works from this time are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, their emotional intensity, and their ability to convey a sense of the inner life of the subject. This portrait of a woman is a prime example of these qualities, and it continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and depth. Maes' Portrait of a Woman is a testament to the artist's skill and vision, and it remains a beloved work of art that continues to inspire and delight. Whether you are a collector, a scholar, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted portrait, this painting is sure to captivate and intrigue you.
