In this scene, cheap, outmoded prints—colored lithographs by the flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté—are coupled with a fashionable Tang dynasty horse and Japanese fabrics pinned on the bulletin board to typify an old-fashioned collector, obsessively accumulating an array of artworks. The depiction of individuals, interrupted at tasks amid settings that reveal clues about their character, was developed by Degas in numerous figure paintings of the 1860s and early 1870s.

The modern art artpiece called The Collector of Prints was made by the French artist Edgar Degas. The painting measures the size of 20 7/8 x 15 3/4 in (53 x 40 cm) and was painted with the medium oil on canvas.

The white & bright sections of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without glow. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is an extremely stylish way to showcase art prints, because it puts all of the viewer’s attention on the artwork.
