What is actually happening
The sitter holds still and the painter does the moving. Debat-Ponsan Portrait de Madame P holds one person under steady attention, and the background stays quiet enough that you read the expression first.
Debat-Ponsan Portrait de Madame P. 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.

Why hand-painting matters here
The test of a portrait reproduction is the shadow side of the face. Print it and you get one flat grey; paint it and you get six colours that only read as shadow when you step back.
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. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.
Sizing it
Every canvas is painted to order, so the size is yours to choose. These are the ones people ask for most:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
| 24 × 20 in | 60 × 50 cm | Study, home office, above a desk |
| 20 × 16 in | 50 × 40 cm | Bedroom, hallway, above a console |
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
Anything outside this table is fine. Give us the measurements and we will work to them. We quote the canvas first; framing and shipping come after. Import duties and taxes fall to the buyer (DAP).
Send the wall, the size and whether you want a frame, and we will quote.

In practice it works best along a stairwell, following the eye upward. Because each canvas is built from scratch, we follow the original's proportions instead of trimming the image to a standard shape. Panoramic and vertical formats are both fine.
Questions worth asking
Can I get this in a size that is not listed?
Yes — the listed sizes are the common requests, not a limit. Very wide or unusually tall proportions are routine for us.
Can I see progress photos while it is being painted?
We send photographs of the finished painting for approval before it ships. Mid-process images are not part of the standard workflow.
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time, depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we photograph, pack and send.
