Sheet of Four Antique Medals — Eugène Delacroix

Original Scale Edition

Eugène Delacroix, Sheet of Four Antique Medals, 1825. Four antique medal studies are gathered into a compact lithographic sheet, turning numismatic forms into a spare exercise in line and tone.

Original artwork size: 31.4 × 23.5 cm (W × H)
Palatine presentation: 30 × 40 cm Classic Frame, landscape.

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. We recommend a black frame to reinforce the lithograph’s dark linear marks without competing with its small circular motifs. Enhanced Matte suits the paper-based print, while Moth-Eye glazing helps keep the pale sheet legible in changing light.
