ABOUT THIS ARTWORK

  • Original design from Prince & Rebel
  • Giclée fine art print on premium cotton canvas
  • Handmade by the finest fingers
  • Available framed within a solid wood float frame or unframed as canvas only
  • Worldwide shipping available

This portrait features a young man, known to his friends as Albert VII, the former ruling Archduke of Austria in 1619. Some would say he looks very handsome, which is why we have taken the opportunity to scribble "Bona Vardering" all over the artwork. This phrase is from the old slang tongue known as Polari and it means "good looking" or "attractive".

      Polari was a form of British cant slang used until the 1960's. Utilised mainly in gay sub culture, it provided a way to allow subjects and people to be discussed aloud without being understood.

      The finished artwork is availble either framed in a beautiful solid wood box frame or unframed as a stretched canvas print only with cool colour wrap sides.

      PRODUCTION INFO

      This canvas artwork is produced using a Giclée fine art printing process using high quality 400gsm cotton canvas stretched over wooden bars milled from European kiln dried knotless pine. Everything is assembled and finished by hand to the very highest standard.

      Box Frame Version - The stretched canvas is beautifully concealed inside a solid wood box frame, with the canvas sitting 5mm from the wooden edge, creating a lovely floating border. The finished piece sits 1.5" (38mm) deep from the wall. 

      Canvas Only Version - Supplied without the box frame as a stretched canvas only. The finished artwork is also 1.5" (38mm) thick with a matching orange colour wrap added onto the sides of the piece.
