Materials & printing
Archival matte paper, 189 g/m² (10.3 mil), sourced from Japan, printed with multicolor water-based inkjet so every brushstroke stays crisp. Framed prints arrive ready to hang in a .75″ ayous-wood frame with an acrylite front. Sized to standard frames by cropping, never stretching — at most about 3% comes off one edge, which isn’t noticeable on most pieces, and we only offer a size when it stays that small.
Shipping & returns
Made to order and delivered in 5–8 business days (2–4 to print, 3–4 in transit). US shipping only for now. Because each print is made for your order, all sales are final — but if it arrives damaged or defective, send us a photo within 14 days and we’ll replace it free. Full policy.
Why is it this affordable?
A thin, flat margin on every piece — just enough to keep the store running. Most of what you pay is the print itself. We only sell sizes that reproduce at full quality, and we don’t mark up the large sizes the way most shops do.
About this work
Chicagoan Charles Gifford Dyer studied painting in Paris and Munich. The objects depicted here, such as the Chinese blue-and-white vase and Oushak Turkish rug, were likely collected during his extensive travels and represent the tastes of a worldly, wealthy man. The composition recalls 17th-century Dutch still lifes in its focus on surfaces, textures, and illusionism. Similarly, it evokes the fleetingness of life by juxtaposing items that quickly decay, such as fruit and flowers, with the enduring arts of literature and music.
