Every Dear Friend portrait comes as a Framed Canvas or a Framed Print. They're the same artwork and the same sizes, so the choice is about the look you want on your wall. Here's how they differ.
Framed Canvas
Your portrait is printed on artist-grade canvas, 38 mm deep, with the picture's edges mirrored round the sides so nothing is cut off. It sits in a slim natural, black or white frame, with a small shadow gap all round.
- The look: modern and gallery-like, with a gentle canvas texture and no mount.
- Best for: modern rooms, bigger walls, and spots with strong light.
- No glazing: so no reflections from windows or lamps.
Framed Print
Your portrait is printed on fine-art matte paper and set behind acrylic glazing, with a white picture mount, in a natural, black or white frame.
- The look: a finished, classic feel. The white mount gives the portrait room to breathe.
- Best for: traditional and classic rooms, gifts, and memorial portraits.
- Glazing: acrylic protects the print from dust and fingerprints. Like any glazing, it can pick up reflections from a bright window or lamp opposite.
The same either way
- Frame colours: natural wood for warmth, black for contrast, white for a light, modern look.
- Sizes: Small 12 × 16 in, Large 16 × 20 in or Extra Large 24 × 32 in, portrait or landscape. See prices and sizing or what size above a sofa or bed.
