Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts.

This etching is from a group of sixteen made by Fragonard in Paris around 1763-64, based on black chalk drawings he had made in Italy a few years earlier for his friend and patron, the abbé de Saint-Non. Of the sixteen, ten were based on Venetian models, including this print inspired by a painting by the seventeenth-century artist Pietro Liberi (Italian, 1605/14-1687). Liberi's canvas, today in the Royal Collection Trust (RCIN 405705) is more closely cropped; Fragonard added space above and below the figures to create a more airy composition.
