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 painting, titled "Young girl asleep surrounded by her toys," is a stunning creation by Austrian child artist Irene Probst, produced around 1920 during her time as a student at the Vienna School for Arts and Crafts under the tutelage of Professor Frantz Cizek. The Vienna School for Arts and Crafts, also known as the Kunstgewerbeschule, was a pioneering institution in art education, championed by Cizek, who encouraged his young students aged 5-14 to explore their creativity in an uninhibited environment. The results of this innovative approach were often extraordinary, as evidenced by this vibrant and colorful piece. In the painting, a young girl lies peacefully asleep, enveloped by a riot of toys that spill out around her. The toys, a testament to her childhood innocence and imagination, are depicted in rich, bold hues, creating a striking contrast against the muted tones of the girl's bed and the background. The artist's skillful use of color and brushwork imbues the scene with a sense of warmth and playfulness, transporting us to a time of carefree wonder and boundless creativity. Irene Probst's "Young girl asleep surrounded by her toys" is a beautiful reminder of the limitless potential that lies within the minds of young artists, nurtured and encouraged by visionary educators like Frantz Cizek. This painting is an outstanding example of the artistic achievements of the Jugendkunstklasse, or Juvenile Art Class, during the 1920s in Vienna, a time of great artistic innovation and experimentation in the city's cultural landscape.
