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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
1. Title: "William Hogarth in Profile: A Testament to the Master of English Art" William Hogarth (1697-1764), a pivotal figure in the history of English art, is captured in this evocative self-portrait painted around 1730. The image, a profile view, showcases Hogarth's distinctive features - the sharp nose, piercing eyes, and expressive eyebrows - that are as captivating today as they were in his time. Hogarth, a prolific artist, is best known for his innovative and socially-critical works. His paintings, which often depicted contemporary life, were a departure from the traditional portraits and landscapes of the period. This self-portrait, however, is a testament to the artist's versatility and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with remarkable precision. The artist is depicted wearing a simple hat and a plain, high-collared shirt, with a fur collar. The background is a plain, dark color, drawing all attention to Hogarth's face and the intricacies of his features. The hat, a common accessory in portraits of the time, adds an air of authenticity and underlines Hogarth's status as a working artist. This profile view, while not as common in portraits of the period, is a deliberate choice by Hogarth. It not only allows for a more introspective and personal portrayal but also adds an element of mystery, inviting the viewer to ponder the thoughts and emotions hidden behind those piercing eyes. As a pioneer of English art, Hogarth's influence extends far beyond his time. His works continue to inspire artists and art enthusiasts alike, and this self-portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the artist's enduring legacy.
