A closer look
Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant takes the old story and makes it physical. Judith uses an old story to get at something physical, with the body modelled in warm shadow rather than outlined.
Judith. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: skin and cloth are given different textures, which is the one thing a printed copy always flattens.

What makes it hard to copy
Printing gives skin and drapery one surface. The painter has to give them two: something that yields, and something that folds. That contrast is most of the picture.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
What size works
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 48 × 36 in | 122 × 91 cm | Large living room, stairwell, loft |
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
Treat this as a starting point. We cut canvases to whatever the wall requires. Framing and shipping are quoted separately. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).
Give us your size and framing preference and you will have a quote shortly.

This one reads well in a hallway where the view is the point. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
What people ask us
What size should I order?
You choose the size. Each canvas is cut to your measurements rather than pulled from stock, so tell us the wall dimensions and we will tell you what proportion works.
How do I clean and care for it?
Dust lightly with a dry, soft brush and keep it out of direct sun. Nothing else is needed for decades; oil paint is slow to change and easy to live with.
Is it legal to own a reproduction?
Yes. The painting is in the public domain, so reproducing it is legal and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original.
