• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding depth - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface.
• The canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is an image applied directly on cotton canvas material. It generates the distinctive impression of three dimensionality. A canvas generates a familiar and positive look. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.

Legal note: We do our utmost to depict our art products as exact as we can and to demonstrate them visually. Still, the tone of the print products, as well as the printing may diverge slightly from the image on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all color pigments will be printed 100% realistically. Since all our fine art prints are printed and processed by hand, there might as well be minor discrepancies in the exact position and the size of the motif.

Fernand Khnopff depicted the daughter of a composer friend on a porch before a closed door, with her tiny thumb catching the edge of her bow as she reaches into her coat. With this small gesture, Khnopff captured the child's vulnerability and uncertainty in facing the outside world. To further evoke a child's perception of a world scaled for grown-ups, he framed Jeanne Kéfer's tiny body against the adult-sized door and tilted the floor ever so slightly.

Jeanne is further isolated by the free, abstract brushwork in the reflective door window behind her. Typical for Khnopff, Jeanne is not warm and inviting but cut off in the shallow background, a fixed, haunting gaze on her face.

Khnopff became a popular society portrait painter in the 1880s, using elements that served him well as an avant-garde Symbolist painter: visual realism and a mood of silence, isolation, and reverie. He frequently posed his models leaning against a closed door, flattening the space and resulting in a meditative, hermetically sealed image.
