Emil Carlsen’s 1882 masterpiece, 'Still Life with Fish,' represents a pinnacle of American Impressionism heavily influenced by Chardin and the French academic tradition. Painted during Carlsen's formative years in Paris, this work showcases his extraordinary ability to render the tactile qualities of scales, copper, and stoneware with architectural precision and a restrained, tonal palette. Each reproduction is meticulously crafted to preserve the delicate impasto and subtle play of light characteristic of Carlsen's classical period. To honor the integrity of the original composition, every format is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping.
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.
