What the painter is doing here
The Egyptian girllabel QS:Len,"The Egyptian girl" holds one person under steady attention. What makes it stay with you is the hands and the set of the shoulders — the parts a portrait usually rushes.
The Egyptian girllabel QS:Len,"The Egyptian girl". Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the shadow side of the face is mixed from colour rather than grey, which is where most copies go dead.

Where the difficulty is
Portraits are where a print fails hardest, because skin is made of a dozen small colour shifts. A painter puts those back in the shadow side, where a press just lays down grey.
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.

If none of these is quite right, tell us the dimensions you need. Irregular and oversized canvases are routine. 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 above a fireplace or console, where it can hold a wall alone. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
Before you order
When will it actually arrive?
Studio time is roughly two to four weeks, then a few more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We tell you where your canvas is at each stage.
Will it look exactly like the image?
Not exactly, and that is the point — it is a painting, not a scan. Composition, colour and drawing follow the original closely; the surface is where a painter's own decisions show.
Can I change something in the composition?
Often yes — background, cropping, or adapting the proportions to your wall. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly whether it will work.
