The product dropdown menu provides you with the opportunity to select a material and a size of your choice. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:

• Canvas: A canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas mounted on a wood stretcher. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, often labelled as a print on plexiglass, makes the artwork into amazing wall décor and is a viable alternative to dibond or canvas prints.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a UV printed sheet of flat canvas with a slightly roughened surface finish. It is best suited for framing the art copy using a custom-made frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin between 2-6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing.
• Aluminium dibond print (metal): An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with a true effect of depth - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface structure.

Legal note: We try all that we can in order to describe our products as precisely as it is possible and to illustrate them visually. Still, the colors of the printing material and the printing may vary marginally from the presentation on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the nature of the surface, colors may not be printed as exactly as the digital version shown here. Because all are processed and printed by hand, there might also be slight variations in the motif's size and exact position.

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

When exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1830, Ingham's "Portrait of a Little Girl with Flowers" attracted critical scorn for its crisp handling, smooth modeling, and bright light on the figure—the very tenets of contemporary neoclassicism. An Irish painter who must have studied in Paris before coming to New York, Ingham espoused the French neoclassical ideal while others clung to the popular, painterly British model. For this avant-garde portrait, Ingham found a willing subject in Amelia Palmer (1819–1843), the daughter of a Stonington, Connecticut, merchant. The idyllic setting and her sprite-like pose suggests that the artist aimed his artistic ambitions higher than straightforward portraiture. The wildflowers—cotton grass, bull thistles, phlox, violets, silkweeds, milkworts, and pinks—redouble the notion of the girl as classical wood nymph, a fair maiden who guards the place she inhabits.
