Albert van Ouwater, 1460 - Head of a Donor - fine art print

General description from the museum's website (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Similar to the Donor Presented by a Saint (32.100.41), this portrait was cut from a larger religious work. The man would have been kneeling in prayer, perhaps before a devotional scene or holy figures. His garments, a fur-trimmed cassock and pleated surplice, indicate that he is a priest. The wrinkles and folds of flesh, more pronounced than those in works by Dieric Bouts and his circle, are characteristic of the heads in Aelbert van Ouwater’s securely documented works.

The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best introduction to prints with aluminum.

• The poster print (canvas material): The poster print is a UV printed sheet of flat canvas with a slightly rough surface texture. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing.
