Created in 1930 by the celebrated Scottish etcher James McBey, this striking portrait of Lessing J. Rosenwald—the legendary American businessman, bibliophile, and print collector—stands as a masterclass in Classical Realism. McBey's authoritative draftsmanship and sensitive line work capture the intellectual depth of Rosenwald, whose monumental donations of graphic art ultimately transformed the National Gallery of Art. To preserve the historical integrity of this exquisite portrait, every format—including our canvas presentation—is finished with the same clean white gallery border. This architectural border floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the original printmaking tradition.
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.
