Created circa 1938 by American artist J. Howard Iams, 'Fruit Jar' is a compelling study in Classical Realism, capturing the quiet dignity of everyday objects during the late Depression era. Iams, celebrated for his meticulous documentation of historic Pennsylvania and regional agrarian life, renders the glass vessel with architectural precision, balancing light, shadow, and form to elevate a simple utilitarian object into a timeless subject of contemplation. To preserve the integrity of Iams's composition, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring an elegant and historically faithful display.
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.
