Select the product material you would like to have
The product dropdown menu ofers you the chance to pick a material and a sizeaccording to your personal preferences. We allow yout to choose among the following variants:
- Print on glossy acrylic glass (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, often named a UV print on plexiglass, will change the original into beautiful wall decoration. What is more, it forms a viable alternative to canvas and dibond art prints. With an acrylic glass fine art print sharp contrasts plus details become more visible with the help of the very subtle tonal gradation in the print. The plexiglass protects your selected art replica against light and external influences for many decades.
- The canvas print: A canvas print, which should not be confused with a canvas painting, is a digital copy printed on an industrial printer. It produces a sculptural effect of three-dimensionality. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for any type of wall.
- Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive depth. The non-reflective surface structure make a contemporary look. The Aluminium Dibond Print is your best introduction to fine prints made on aluminum. The colors of the print are luminous and vivid, the details of the print appear crisp and clear, and you can perceive the matte appearance of the fine art print. This direct UV print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is an extremely modern way to display art prints, as it draws attention on the artwork.
- Printed poster on canvas material: The poster is a printed canvas with a granular surface structure. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the 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.

Vigée Le Brun was the most important woman artist of her time. She was a favorite of Marie Antoinette, through whose good offices she was admitted in 1783 to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture as one of only four women members. To the Salon of that year, her public debut, she sent three history paintings and at least ten portraits, of which this was one. Madame Grand was a minor celebrity, a beautiful blond born in India, ill-educated but musical and clever; she would eventually become the wife of the minister and diplomat Talleyrand.
