Carel Fabritius, 1649 - Portrait of Abraham de Potter, Amsterdam Silk Merchant - fine art print

Supplemental information from the museum (© Copyright - Rijksmuseum - www.rijksmuseum.nl)

At first sight, this portrait appears fairly conventional. The sitter is dressed in sober black, and the stiff pleated ruff was no longer particularly fashionable in 1649. However, the background is unusual: Potter stands before a weathered plastered wall. Above his signature, Fabritius painted a small, deceptively real nail, which seems to stick out of the canvas.

The product dropdown menu ofers you the opportunity to select your individual size and material. We allow you to pick your favorite size and material among the following product individualization options:

• The canvas print: The canvas print, not to be confused with a canvas painting, is an image printed from an industrial printer. A canvas has a particular effect of three-dimensionality. The printed canvas makes a lively and comfortable impression. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a fine art print on plexiglass, makes the artwork into gorgeous home decoration and is a great alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond fine art prints. Your artwork is made with state-of-the-art UV printing technology. The plexiglass protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for between 40-60 years.
• Poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster is a printed canvas with a fine surface finish. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with an impressive depth effect - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print the favorite artpiece onto the surface of the aluminum composite. The colors of the print are luminous, fine details are crisp.
