Artwork information by the museum's website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

A young woman glances out a window while tuning her lute. Open songbooks and a viola da gamba on the floor indicate that she is preparing for a duet. Wealthy young people in the Dutch Republic studied music as part of their education, and amateur concerts provided a welcome opportunity for flirtation. The map of Europe in the background reflects the decoration of Dutch homes at the time, a sign of pride in the nation’s preeminence in navigation and cartography.

Which kind of art print materials can I select?

For every fine art print we offer a range of different sizes & materials. You can select your preferred size and material between the following options:

• Canvas: A canvas direct print is a printed canvas mounted on a wooden frame. A canvas generates a particular effect of three dimensionality. How can I hang a canvas print on the wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the support of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, which is often denoted as a plexiglass print, will transform the original artwork into beautiful décor and forms a great alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond art prints. The great benefit of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts and minor artwork details will be more visible thanks to the very subtle tonal gradation of the print. The acrylic glass protects your selected art print against light and external influences for many years to come.
• Poster on canvas material: Our poster is a UV printed canvas paper with a slight surface texture. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm around the print, which facilitates the framing.
• Aluminium dibond: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an outstanding depth effect. Colors are bright and vivid in the highest definition, the fine details appear crisp and clear, and you can literally perceive a matte appearance of the product. The direct print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly sophisticated way to showcase fine art prints, since it puts the viewer’s attention on the whole artwork.
