Possible material choices

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. You can choose your your favorite size and material among the following options:

  • Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is often labelled as a an art print on plexiglass, transforms your artwork into wall décor and makes a good alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond fine art replicas. The great benefit of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and color details will be identifiable thanks to the subtle gradation. Our acrylic glass protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for many years.
  • Canvas print: The canvas print, not to be confused with a real canvas painting, is a digital copy printed on an industrial printing machine. Furthermore, a canvas print produces a soft, pleasant impression. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
  • Printed poster on canvas material: Our poster is a printed sheet of canvas paper with a slightly roughened texture on the surface. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm round about the work of art, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
  • Metal (aluminium dibond print): This is a metal print manufactured on aluminium dibond with an outstanding depth. The direct print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely sophisticated way to showcase art prints, as it puts 100% of the viewer’s focus on the whole artwork.

Original information about the work of art by the museum (© Copyright - by The J. Paul Getty Museum - The J. Paul Getty Museum)

"This little laundress is charming, but she's a rascal I wouldn't trust an inch," the critic Denis Diderot declared when this painting was first exhibited in 1761. Indeed, Jean-Baptiste Greuze stripped the traditional theme of the washerwoman of its association with the virtue of hard work and instead overlaid it with a titillating sensuality typical of Rococo art. In a room scattered with wet and drying laundry, a disheveled maidservant with an exposed stocking and slipper fixes the viewer with a provocative gaze.

Greuze used a heavily loaded brush to apply patches of paint that describe texture and surface: the folds of the young woman's dress, the heaviness of wet cloth, the dull sheen on the pewter jug, and the grainy texture of wood.
