Custom portrait
in İzmir
€1,500from, oil on canvas
Painted in oil on canvas in Fontainebleau, delivered to İzmir in İzmir Province in 5–9 working days.
İzmir is home to about 2 938 292 people in İzmir Province, 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 İzmir can finish it in a style that suits the room.
