Dating from the turbulent years of the First World War (c. 1914/1919), this double-sided work by French master Jean-Louis Forain captures the poignant reality of conflict. 'C'etait notre maison' (recto) and 'Refugees in a Landscape' (verso) offer a profound, dual-sided narrative of displacement and lost heritage. Forain’s swift, expressive draftsmanship and architectural sensitivity define this Classical-era masterpiece. To preserve the integrity of Forain's original composition, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with the same clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, ensuring the historical composition remains entirely intact.
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.
