What to look at
Édouard Debat-Ponsan The daughter of jephthah holds one person under steady attention. Édouard Debat-Ponsan is not flattering the sitter so much as registering them — the face is modelled with small, honest decisions rather than ideal features.
Édouard Debat-Ponsan The daughter of jephthah. 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 paint it by hand
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. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
Choosing a size
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 |
These are the usual requests, not a limit. Anything in between, or bigger, is just a matter of asking. 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.
The practical questions
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.
How close will it be to the original?
The composition, colour and drawing follow the original closely; the brushwork carries the painter's own hand. The painter works freehand on a blank canvas, following the same logic as the original rather than copying a photograph.
Do you work from my own photograph?
Yes, though that is a separate service. This page is for a hand-painted version of {title}; for a photo-to-painting commission, send the image on WhatsApp.
