Custom portrait
in Merthyr Tydfil
€1,500from, oil on canvas
Painted in oil on canvas in Fontainebleau, delivered to Merthyr Tydfil in Wales in 4–6 working days.
Merthyr Tydfil is home to about 43 820 people in Wales, 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 Merthyr Tydfil can finish it in a style that suits the room.
