Artwork Details
Portrait of a Peasant (1888, Patience Escalier) by Vincent van Gogh depicts a sunburnt and weather-beaten Provençal peasant, gazing intensely out of the canvas. Patience Escalier, "formerly a cowhand in the Camargue, now a gardener at one of the farms in La Crau," sat as a portrait model for Vincent in Arles. The portrait represents a change in his work towards a much more vibrant use of color, here an almost unreal depiction of yellows, blues, greens and reds. Vincent wrote to his brother, Theo: "Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more arbitrarily, in order to express myself with force."
- All sizes given are in inches (″), assembled within a ¼″ tolerance.
- Unframed art prints have a ½″ white margin, ex. an 8x12″ print's final dimensions will be 9x13″.
- Framed art prints are ~2″ larger, ex. an 8x12″ print's final framed dimensions will be ~10x14″ overall.
- Frames are ¾″ (black) or ⅞″ (natural, espresso, gold) wide viewed from the front, and 1⅛″ deep; frames will overlap the print edges ~¼″.
Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
