Portrait of a Woman at Prayer — Hans Memling

Original Scale Edition

Hans Memling, Portrait of a Woman at Prayer, c. 1480. Memling presents the sitter with her hands joined in prayer, combining the directness of portraiture with a quiet devotional character.

Original artwork size: 32.5 × 45 cm (W × H)
Palatine presentation: 40 × 50 cm Classic Frame, portrait.

Most art-print shops offer the same image in a choice of Small, Medium and Large sizes. We take a different approach. For each edition, we begin with the recorded dimensions of the original work and reproduce the complete image at that scale, preserving its proportions and avoiding enlargement, reduction, cropping or distortion.

Frame finishes
Black, White or Natural.

Paper & glazing
Enhanced Matte with either Perspex or Moth-Eye glazing.

A considered presentation for every work. We assess each edition individually and recommend the frame, paper and glazing combination we believe best complements the work. Our recommendation is preselected when the page opens, but the choice remains yours.

Recommended presentation: Black frame + Enhanced Matte + Moth-Eye. The black frame anchors the deep reds and dark dress without competing with the pale headdress; Moth-Eye helps keep attention on the sitter and fine surface detail.
