A canvas creates a extra effect of three-dimensionality. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suitable for all types of walls.
• Aluminium dibond print: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond with an impressive depth effect.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster is a UV printed sheet of cotton canvas with a slight surface finish. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm round about the work of art in order to facilitate the framing.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes named as a an art print on plexiglass, will transform the original artwork into wonderful décor. In addition, the acrylic print is a viable alternative to canvas and dibond prints. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your custom art print against light and external influences for decades.

Description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Although Ter Borch was born in the comparatively provincial eastern Dutch town of Zwolle and made his career at nearby Deventer after 1654, he was intimately familiar with painting in Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague. He also travelled internationally before 1650, most importantly to depict members of the Dutch and Spanish courts at the peace negotiations of 1646–48 at Munster. This experience and his refined style and perception of character made ter Borch a very successful portraitist in and around Deventer. This portrait was probably painted there in the late 1650s.
