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.
Hide And Seek is a beautiful 60.3 x 75.9 cm oil painting by James Jacques Joseph Tissot and is dated from circa 1880-1882. James Tissot was a late 19th-century painter, hailed for his stunning images of the Victorian Era. Born in Nantes, France, into a clothing merchant family, Tissot decided to be a painter when he was 17 years old. Under the classes of Louis Lamothe, his talent flourished, with the artist achieving great technical skills and an Academic background. Moving to London in 1870, he worked with magazines and was cunningly fast in dealing with his work. Hide and Seek is one of Tissot’s interiors, bringing to the contemporary audience a look into the daily life of the bourgeois family of the 19th-century.
Hide And Seek was painted on a rectangular canvas, emphasizing its height. The point of view that Tissot chose gives a more intimate aspect to the picture. The interior is full of patterns and shadows, giving the viewer many details to observe. Like many Modernists, Tissot was fascinated by the ukiyo-e prints, and Japonisme influenced him like many other of his contemporaries. The choice for the abundance of patterns can be understood as part of this Japanese influence.
At the bottom of the composition, there is a dark round object with golden patterns and a small toy ball to its right. To the left, there is a beautiful red patterned carpet with a beautiful pattern of white flowers and blue branches. On it, a petite blond child in a white dress is crawling while searching for the other children. Behind here are heavy dark leather armchairs decorated with different animal pelts, including tiger skin.
An unseen light source illuminates the little girl and the carpet, showing a beautiful intense blue. The room is filled with rich decor, like vases, fancy chairs, and golden picture frames. In the background, large windows fill the room with natural lighting, and colorful plants can be seen outside. A woman in a navy blue dress is leaning in her chair and reading what seems to be a newspaper while the kids play. There is a shadowy area to the left, where three other children can be seen peeking from their hiding place, while the small girl searching is clueless of their position. The picture is full of details that keep intriguing the viewer who wishes to search for them.

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.

Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
