In the product dropdown lists you can pick a material and a size of your choice. Choose among the following product options now to match your preferences in size and material:

• Printed poster on canvas material: Our poster is a UV printed cotton canvas with a granular structure on the surface. The poster print is optimally suited for placing your art replica in a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the work of art in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: A printed canvas applied on a wooden frame. Additionally, a printed canvas creates a attractive and positive effect. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with a true depth effect - for a modern look and non-reflective surface. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print the chosen work of art onto the aluminium white-primed surface. The white & bright sections of the artwork shimmer with a silk gloss but without the glare. The direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly modern way to display artworks, since it draws attention on the replica of the artwork.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a fine art print on plexiglass, will change the original into amazing décor.

Important note: We try our best to describe our products with as many details as possible and to showcase them visually. However, some pigments of the printed materials and the printing can vary to a certain extent from the presentation on your screen. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all color pigments are printed 100% realistically. Because all our art prints are processed and printed by hand, there may also be slight discrepancies in the motif's exact position and the size.

Original information about the work of art by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

In 1872 Henry James described the painting as "dashed upon the canvas by a brush superbly confident." Hals's authorship has been discounted since the 1880s but the picture must be by a close follower, and is based upon Hals's Malle Babbe of the early 1630s (Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen, Berlin) or a lost version of that composition. The title comes from an old inscription on the back of the Berlin painting and may be the nickname of a Haarlem personality. In the seventeeth century, owls were often associated with fools or vulgar behavior. A Dutch proverb, "drunk as an owl," is recalled by the woman's large tankard in the canvas in Berlin.
