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.

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 evocative watercolor painting, titled "Boy Seen from the Backside," is a captivating work by the renowned French painter Theodore Gericault (1791-1824). Gericault was a leading figure of the Romantic movement in European art, known for his powerful and emotionally charged compositions. This particular work, created with pen and watercolor, showcases Gericault's exceptional skill in capturing the human form with sensitivity and depth. The subject of the painting is a young boy, depicted from an unconventional perspective, with his back turned to the viewer. The boy's posture is relaxed, and his clothing appears worn and tattered, suggesting a humble and perhaps difficult upbringing. The artist masterfully employs the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to contemplate the boy's story. This painting is part of the esteemed collection of the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany. Founded in 1826, the Alte Pinakothek is one of the oldest public galleries in the world, and its extensive holdings of European art from the Middle Ages to the 18th century include works by many of the most celebrated artists in history. Gericault's "Boy Seen from the Backside" is a testament to the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Europe. This watercolor painting is a poignant reminder of the power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. Gericault's masterful use of color, light, and form invites us to connect with the subject on a deeply human level, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art or the human experience.
