Order your desired material

For every art print we offer a range of different materials & sizes. The following options are available for individualization:

• Poster print (canvas material): The poster print is a printed canvas with a fine surface finish. It is perfectly suited for putting the art print in a custom-made frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the print motif to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best introduction to art replicas with alu. The colors of the print are luminous in the highest definition, the fine details appear very clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel. The direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely modern way to display artworks, because it draws attention on the replica of the artwork.
• Canvas print: The printed canvas mounted on a wooden frame. It makes a particular look of three-dimensionality. Your canvas of this work of art will allow you to transform your customized art print into a large size artwork. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, often labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, makes your favorite original artwork into lovely wall décor. Your own replica of the work of art will be custom-made with the help of modern UV print machines. It creates sharp, intense color hues. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts plus small color details will be exposed because of the fine tonal gradation of the picture.

Two milliners sit at a dramatically angled worktable, their bodies partly obscured by the shadowed hat stands that crowd their work space. Seen as little more than a silhouette, the figure at right works carefully on a hat. Her attentiveness is not shared by her older counterpart who, though grasping a swath of pink fabric, appears lost in thought, gazing beyond the frame with a disquieting expression. The brightly colored ribbons--pink, yellow, orange, and green--draw attention to the drabness of the room and its inhabitants.

Over the course of about thirty years, Edgar Degas produced more than twenty paintings, pastels, and drawings of millinery shops. Among modern painters, Degas alone depicted this subject matter with such frequency. His voyeuristic yet empathetic portrait of the milliner's private world focuses on the physical hardship of their work. The woman at the left embodies the painter's concern; even at rest, her wiry body and pallid skin registers a life of hard work and meager reward.
