Print Description
There is a calming atmosphere in this reproduction which comes from the setting; a young girl concentrating on her flower chain crown whilst sitting outside in the sunshine. Child Braiding a Crown from 1874 is a pure, heart warming scene which is the reason why William Bouguereau proved so popular with his love for tradition within his paintings. Child Braiding a Crown is a captivating 19th century art print worthy of a special place in a traditionalist interior decor setting.

Framing

If you choose to frame your art with us - feel safe in the knowledge that we collaborate with an expert framer, who delivers quality custom frames and has been in the framing business for over 20 years.
You will find that our framing costs are more reasonable than your local framer, due to our business being purely online. Being online means we have lower overheads than a typical art and framing business which provides us the opportunity to pass those savings onto you, without losing any of the quality or craftsmanship of an experienced framer.
All of our frames are custom made using sustainably sourced wood and we use glass not perspex in our frames. We also offer three popular finishes of black, white and natural timber. All of our frame colours have a smooth, matte finish and have a solid structure with classic design elements that do not disappoint.
Frame Profile
You will find that a large amount of our art is encompassed by a 5cm white border around the main image. We have done this to minimise additional costs associated with mat boards, which we do not supply as part of our framing process.Once you have placed your order, your frame will take on average between 7 - 10 business days to make and 24hrs to securely pack and get ready to ship to your desired destination.

The Artist
WILLIAM BOUGUEREAU
William Bouguereau (1825 – 1905) was a French academic, realist painter. In his paintings Bouguereau used mythological themes, creating modern interpretations of classical subjects with a style and emphasis focused on the female body.
Bouguereau was a staunch traditionalist whose genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of classical subjects, both pagan and Christian, with a concentration on the naked female form. The idealised world of his paintings brought to life goddesses, nymphs, bathers, shepherdesses, children and madonnas in a way that appealed to wealthy art patrons of the era. Bouguereau's graceful portraits of women were considered charming, partly because he could beautify a model whilst also retaining her likeness.
Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown.
