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.

A Dutch Courtyard
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century painting by the renowned Dutch artist Pieter de Hooch. Created around 1656, this masterpiece is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of everyday life in the Netherlands during this period. The painting depicts a serene and intimate scene in a courtyard, bathed in the soft, dappled light filtering through the open shutters. The courtyard is surrounded by a low wall, beyond which lies a lush, green garden. The central focus of the painting is a group of figures engaged in various activities. In the foreground, a cavalier in a red coat leans against the wall, smoking a long clay pipe. He is deep in thought, his eyes fixed on the horizon, seemingly oblivious to the world around him. To his left, a woman in a blue apron pours beer from a jug into a mug for a man in a brown cloak. The man, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, looks up at her with a grateful expression. In the background, a child plays with a ball, while a dog lies at the feet of a woman in a red dress, who is busy with household chores. The painting's attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricately patterned tiles on the floor to the textured fabrics of the clothing. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer into the scene. The figures are rendered with a sense of warmth and humanity, inviting the viewer to connect with their everyday lives. "A Dutch Courtyard" is a beautiful and evocative work of art that offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Netherlands during the 17th century. Pieter de Hooch's masterful use of light, color, and composition make this painting a true masterpiece of Dutch art.
