• Aluminium dibond print: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with a true effect of depth. The bright & white sections of the original artwork shimmer with a silky gloss, however without any glare.
• Printed poster (canvas material): A poster is a printed sheet of canvas with a slightly rough surface texture. It is perfectly suited for framing your art copy using a special frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the print to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood frame. In addition to that, a canvas creates a charming and pleasant feeling. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes labelled as a plexiglass print, will turn the original into brilliant décor. The major upside of an acrylic glass print is that sharp contrasts and also small color details will be recognizeable because of the subtle tonal gradation of the picture. Our acrylic glass protects your chosen art print against sunlight and heat for several decades.

English: As the artist’s son Ulf turns around among the birch trunks, his body assumes a pose that resembles the slender, supple trees. Nordic nature was a common theme in 1890s art, but Carl Larsson’s daylight scenes with white birches stood out from the habitual twilight views (especially with pines against sunsets). The setting is Bullerholmen, an island in the Sundborn river, where the Larsson family used to go by rowing boat to bathe. Ulf, who is eleven in this painting, died in 1905 after a failed appendectomy. När konstnärens son Ulf vänder sig om bland björkstammarna intar han en ställning som påminner om de slanka och böjliga träden. Den nordiska naturen var ett centralt tema i 1890-talets konst, men Carl Larssons dagsljusscener och vita björkar stack av mot de frekventare skymningsmotiven (ofta tallar i solnedgång). Platsen är Bullerholmen, en ö i Sundbornsån dit familjen Larsson brukade ro för att bada. Ulf, som här är elva år, avled 1905 efter en misslyckad blindtarmsoperation.
