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 portrait depicts Von Johans Reks, a significant historical figure in the 18th century Baltic region. Born in the late 17th century, Reks rose to prominence as a marshal and later became the Governor General of Riga from 1790 to 1792. The portrait was masterfully painted by Friedrich Hartmanis Barizjens in the Baroque style, reflecting the grandeur and elegance of the era. Born in Riga, Latvia, Hartmanis Barizjens was a renowned painter of his time, known for his portraits of prominent figures from the region. In this painting, he expertly captures the distinguished features and regal bearing of Von Johans Reks, who gazes steadily out at the viewer with an air of authority and confidence. The intricate details of the sitter's attire, including the fur-trimmed robe and ornate military decorations, further underscore his status and importance. This portrait is now housed in the Museum of History and Navigation in Riga, Latvia, where it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The painting is a testament to the artistic talent and historical significance of both Von Johans Reks and Friedrich Hartmanis Barizjens, and continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
