Other compositions feature fruit like apples, cherries, plums, and grapes beside pitchers, jugs, and bottles. Game, mackerel, and tableware also populate these domestic arrangements.

How do I display a framed painting?

These works suit domestic interiors when hung at eye level away from direct sunlight. Wooden frames, oak frames, and gilt frames protect the edges of the canvas or board. Stable wall environments preserve the integrity of both the paint surface and the supporting wooden structure.

What materials support the painted surface?

Artists utilised stretched canvas, wooden boards, canvas boards, milk glass, and heavy paper for watercolours. Frames incorporate wood, decorative gilt, and gold leaf. Oil paint and watercolours provide the primary colour media across the collection.
