FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 exquisite silhouette captures the enchanting likeness of the Duchess of Angouleme, Marie-Antoinette's favored daughter, Silvie (1778-1851). The image, created during the height of silhouette art's popularity in late 18th-century France, showcases the aristocratic beauty in a simple yet elegant profile view. Born as Marie-Antoinette Charlotte Gabrielle de Bourbon, the Duchess was the eldest surviving child of the ill-fated French monarchs, King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Her upbringing in the opulent Palace of Versailles, surrounded by grandeur and luxury, shaped her refined taste and graceful demeanor. In this portrait, the Duchess is depicted sitting in a high-backed chair, her hands delicately resting on her lap. Her regal posture and serene expression convey a sense of poise and sophistication. A small dog, perhaps a lapdog, sits at her feet, adding a touch of playfulness to the image. As a member of the French aristocracy, the Duchess was known for her beauty, intelligence, and charm. She was a favorite of her parents and played an essential role in the royal court. Despite the tumultuous political climate and the eventual downfall of the monarchy, the Duchess managed to escape the revolution and live a relatively peaceful life in exile. This silhouette is a captivating reminder of the Duchess of Angouleme's enchanting presence and her significant place in French history. The artistry and intricacy of the silhouette technique perfectly capture the essence of this remarkable woman, making it a timeless treasure for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
