23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 miniature painting, titled "Queen Guinevere Reinforcing the London Tower," is a captivating work of art from the medieval period, showcasing the legendary Queen Guinevere in a moment of strength and determination. The painting, believed to be from the French manuscript of the "Lancelot-Grail Cycle," is attributed to the illustrious artist Antoine de Verard or possibly Jean Mauduit. Queen Guinevere, the beloved queen of King Arthur, is depicted in the painting as she rides in a charrette, or cart, towards the London Tower. The tower, a symbol of protection and security, is in need of reinforcement, and Guinevere, with unwavering resolve, takes it upon herself to ensure its fortification. The gothic architecture of the tower stands tall and majestic against the backdrop of a tranquil landscape, with the River Thames flowing gently nearby. The painting is a testament to the enduring legend of Queen Guinevere and her role in the Arthurian tales. The story of Guinevere's infamous affair with Sir Lancelot, one of King Arthur's most trusted knights, is well-known. However, this painting depicts a different side of the queen, one of strength, leadership, and dedication to her kingdom. The intricate details of the painting, from the delicate folds of Guinevere's gown to the intricate patterns on the cart, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artist. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds to the painting's visual appeal, making it a stunning addition to any collection of medieval art or Arthurian literature.
