General description from the museum (© - Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

In a dark classroom, a schoolmaster raises an admonishing finger at a boy standing in shadow, while a girl diligently recites her lesson by the bright light of a candle. Represented in this way, the light assumes a deeper meaning as the light of knowledge. Dou demonstrates his skill in rendering artificial light by including no fewer than four different light sources in this painting.

Obtain your desired material option

In the product dropdown lists you can select your favorite material and size. Pick your favorite size and material among the following options:

• The poster print (canvas material): A poster print is a UV printed sheet of canvas with a granular finish on the surface. It is best suited for framing the art replica in a personal frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: The printed canvas mounted on a wooden frame. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suitable for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often described as a plexiglass print, transforms the original into gorgeous décor and is a viable alternative option to aluminium and canvas art prints. The work of art is made thanks to modern UV direct printing machines. With an acrylic glass fine art print sharp contrasts and granular painting details become more identifiable because of the subtle gradation in the print.
• Aluminium dibond print: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with an impressive depth effect. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the excellent start to fine art prints manufactured on aluminum. Colors are bright and luminous, the details of the print are crisp and clear.
