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.

The Poultry Yard, Circa 1690 - An Oil Painting Masterpiece by Melchior d'Hondecoeter Step back in time with this exquisite oil painting, 'The Poultry Yard,' dating back to circa 1690. This artwork, created by the renowned Dutch artist Melchior d'Hondecoeter, showcases a large and vibrant collection of birds in their natural habitat. The scene takes place in a spacious, sunlit yard, where feathered friends of various species engage in a myriad of activities. In the foreground, a rooster proudly struts, displaying his regal plumage, while hens cluck and peck at the ground, foraging for food. A turkey gobbles in the background, its fan of feathers spread wide, while a pair of ducks wade in a tranquil pond, their reflections shimmering in the water. A goose preens itself, and a pigeon perches on a fence, looking curiously at the viewer. The intricate details and lifelike depiction of each bird's unique characteristics are a testament to Melchior d'Hondecoeter's masterful painting skills. The artist's ability to capture the essence of each bird's personality and behavior adds depth and charm to this scene. This stunning oil painting is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of poultry farming during the late 17th century. It is an essential addition to any art collection, and a perfect conversation starter for bird enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
