FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Edgar Degas is known for his vast iconic collection of pieces about ballerinas and dancers. He was probably the most important artist to represent the subtlety of the classical ballet. This obsession, according to sources, would come from the fact that these representations would match his taste for the classical beauty with his innovative Impressionist style.
In this example of his important work, two dancers are the main subject while four others are part of the scene. One of the main characters of this piece is a black haired girl with a chubby face and a vibrant red lipstick. Behind her, there is a brown haired girl. It’s possible to see her hair and dress, but her face is covered by the black hair from the girl in front of her. Unlike the girl in the front, she doesn’t have details on her dress. They are striking a delicate pose, the black-haired dancer in the front has few red flowers on her hair and her pearl white dress matches her lipstick. She has an interesting black choker on her neck that contrasts with the subtlety of the rest of her outfit.
It is possible to observe how both skirts are flowy and puffy. Nice brushstrokes create a cloudy aspect of the tulle fabric. They both have white skin and wear light pastel pink stockings.
They are on a smooth floor, but behind them, there is a sort of a flower bush that gives the whole scene the aspect that they are en-plein-air (outdoors). On the background there are two other dancers chatting, one of them is almost behind the bushes. The corsage of the dancer on the right is shaded in a darker tone of blue, and there is a beautiful light outlining her legs.
Two dancers are on the foreground, almost out of the panel. They look and appreciate the pose of the two little girls that are at the center of the image. One of them, with a darker hair and a pink toned skin, points out at them as if she was about to mimic their poses.
The other girl that is in front of the whole picture, simply observes. She is either wearing a fur coat or has her hair down over her shoulders. There is also the textured detail on the skirt of these two girls in front of this picture.

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.
Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.
If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.
All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
Unframed paintings are covered with a special protective film, are gently rolled and then placed inside a strong specially designed tube.
Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
