Commission
Custom portrait
in Istanbul
€1,500from, oil on canvas
Painted in oil on canvas in Fontainebleau, delivered to Istanbul in Istanbul in 5–9 working days.
Istanbul is home to about 15 701 602 people in Istanbul, and the portrait is painted at the studio near Paris rather than in a local atelier. The canvas is built in centimetres, varnished, and shipped stretched so it arrives ready to hang.
The painting is cleared as an original artwork on arrival. Frames are best added locally: the canvas is delivered stretched, so a framer in Istanbul can finish it in a style that suits the room.
