What does the website of the Rijksmuseum say about this 17th century work of art painted by Gabriël Metsu? (© Copyright - Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

This old man holding a beer tankard looks out at us somewhat drowsily. The tally of the drinks he has consumed is chalked up on the slate behind him. The beer barrel at the left bears the mark of Het Rode Hert (The Red Hart), an Amsterdam brewery on the Prinsengracht. Metsu was living next door to it around 1650.

• The canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed on an industrial printer. How can I hang a canvas on the wall? The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with a true depth. The non-reflective surface creates a modern impression. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the perfect start to prints on aluminum. For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the artpiece onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum. The bright & white components of the artwork shine with a silk gloss, however without glow. This UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly contemporary way to display art prints, as it draws attention on the artwork.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often referred to as a plexiglass print, will transform the original into beautiful home décor. With an acrylic glass fine art print sharp contrasts and details will be recognizeable thanks to the fine gradation. Our real glass coating protects your selected art print against sunlight and heat for between four and 6 decades.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster print is a UV printed canvas with a slight structure on the surface. The print poster is perfectly suited for placing your fine art print with the help of a personal frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
