We offer a range of different materials and sizes for every product. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond print: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an impressive effect of depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is your best start to art prints produced on aluminum. The bright and white parts of the artpiece shine with a silk gloss but without the glare.
• The poster print (canvas material): Our poster is a printed cotton canvas paper with a slightly rough surface structure. A printed poster is ideally suited for placing the art copy with a custom-made frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm around the print to facilitate the framing with a custom frame.
• The canvas print: A UV printed canvas material stretched on a wood frame. Your printed canvas of this artpiece will let you turn your art print into a large work of art. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An print on acrylic glass, which is often referenced as a print on plexiglass, will turn the original artwork into brilliant home decoration and forms a viable alternative option to canvas or dibond prints. The major upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts plus artwork details become recognizeable because of the very subtle gradation. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for many decades.

Madame Vigée Le Brun was part of the world she painted and, like her aristocratic patrons, was under threat of the guillotine after the revolution. She was forced to flee Paris in disguise in 1789. She had been first painter to Queen Marie–Antoinette and her personal confidant. The queen had intervened to ensure her election to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, an honor accorded few women.

More than two–thirds of Vigée Le Brun's surviving paintings are portraits. Most, like this one, are of women and children who are idealized —flattered—into a kind of family resemblance. These unrelated young women, for example, could easily be mistaken for sisters. Their garments, airy silks and iridescent taffetas, are almost more individual than their faces, although both women were friends of the artist. The picture was hailed as a tribute to friendship and maternal love when it was shown at the Salon of 1787.
