Thin black aluminium frame with a 100mm black Passepartout

Michelle and her boyfriend Marco got engaged at Nossob in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park; which is very sentimental since her family has been camping there since she was a baby.

This illustration was done by Carolien Van Renssen and celebrates that special moment when he went down on one knee.

Because of the simplicity and fineness of the illustration, we decided to use a thin black aluminium frame with a 100mm black Passepartout. The white in the illustration is beautifully balanced with the black Passepartout. If we had used a white window, it would have added more space to the image losing that focal point completely.

Original artwork certification

Original artwork is usually accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, most of the time, this just lands up in a drawer and is forgotten about. For this reason, Art of Print displays these certificates at the back of the frame, where it is protected by glass or plexi and visible should you wish to show someone it.
