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 image, titled "Achille de Gas (the brother of the artist) in the Uniform of a Cadet" by Edgar Degas, is a striking representation of Achille de Gas, the artist's brother, dressed in the uniform of a French naval cadet. Painted in the mid-19th century, circa 1856, this artwork is a testament to Degas' exceptional artistic skill and his deep connection to his family. The painting, executed on canvas, captures the young Achille's intense gaze and the meticulous attention to detail in his uniform. The navy blue jacket, adorned with golden buttons and braid, is perfectly rendered, as are the intricate folds of his white shirt and the red sash draped around his waist. The crispness of the uniform and the pristine white cap add to the sense of order and discipline that was expected of French naval cadets during this period. Edgar Degas, known for his innovative approach to art and his mastery of various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking, created this work during his formative years as an artist. The painting reflects the influence of the Realist movement, which emphasized the accurate depiction of everyday life and the human condition. Achille de Gas' portrait in uniform serves as a poignant reminder of the close bond between the artist and his brother, as well as the historical context of the French naval academy during the mid-19th century. This evocative artwork continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail, emotional depth, and historical significance.
