This work owes much of its character to the precedent of the eighteenth-century French painter Chardin. Yet the motif and handling also reflect an awareness of seventeenth-century Dutch painting, particularly Vermeer and de Hooch, whose works Corot could have seen during a trip to Holland in 1854. This picture was probably painted around the time Vermeer’s art was enjoying a revival of interest.

Select your preferred material

The product dropdown menu gives you the chance to select the size and material of your choice. You can choose among the following product customization options:

  • Acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, often named a UV print on plexiglass, will convert your favorite original artwork into beautiful décor and offers a good alternative to canvas or dibond art prints. The great upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts as well as small painting details will be exposed thanks to the subtle tonal gradation. Our plexiglass protects your custom art replica against sunlight and heat for many decades.
  • Canvas print: The printed canvas material applied on a wooden frame. Hanging a canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
  • Aluminium dibond (metal print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with a true depth - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to reproductions with aluminum. The white & bright components of the original artpiece shimmer with a silk gloss but without any glow.
  • Poster print (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed sheet of flat canvas paper with a slightly roughened texture on the surface, which reminds the actual version of the artwork. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
