Your printed canvas of this work of art will allow you to transform your art print into a large artpiece as you would see in a gallery. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.

With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and painting details become identifiable due to the delicate tonal gradation in the picture. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen fine art print against light and external influences for many years.

Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

Two well-known personalities in the art world, the writer Edmond Duranty and model Emma Dobigny, posed for this early genre scene by Degas, set in an office, possibly a small bank. From the faithfully copied British racing print to the stylishly attired female protagonist, it recalls the work of fellow artist James Tissot. Yet for all the exacting detail, the subject of this picture remains elusive. The model’s elegant visiting dress, curiously worn without a hat, and the informality of her pose may suggest a familial or intimate relationship, but Degas offers faint clue as to the cause of his "sulking."
