Created in 1957 by the master American lithographer Benton Murdoch Spruance, 'A Child - Offered Us a Quail in a Slipper of Rose Coloured Satin' represents a peak of mid-century classical narrative printmaking. Spruance’s work is celebrated for its architectural precision, complex tonal ranges, and profound literary depth. This rare composition showcases his exceptional draftsmanship and ability to evoke delicate, poetic imagery through structured form. Every format of this exquisite reproduction, including our premium canvas, is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, preserving the integrity of Spruance's original vision.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
