• The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often labelled as a print on plexiglass, makes your favorite original work of art into stunning décor and forms a distinct alternative to dibond and canvas fine art prints.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an impressive depth. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best start to art prints with aluminum. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print your artwork right on the aluminium surface. The bright and white sections of the artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without glow. This print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a truly modern way to display fine art reproductions, as it draws attention on the whole artwork.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed flat cotton canvas paper with a slightly rough finish on the surface, which reminds the original artwork. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin between 2 - 6cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.

Depending on your settings of your screen and the condition of the surface, not all colors will be printed one hundret percent realistically. Bearing in mind that all art prints are processed and printed by hand, there might also be minor deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.

A descendant of African-American slaves, Duncanson was born in upstate New York into a family of carpenters and housepainters. As an artist he was self-taught and established a successful career in the Midwest, especially in Cincinnati, where he painted portraits and, increasingly, landscapes that exhibit the strong influence of Thomas Cole. Duncanson painted many pictures of actual scenes, but "Landscape with Shepherd" typifies the generic pastoral prospect that he frequently preferred. It compares closely with such Cole paintings as "View on the Catskill, Early Autumn" (95.13.3), but, unlike Cole’s picture, cannot be linked with any specific locale.
