Johannes Vermeer’s 'Woman Holding a Balance' (c. 1664) is a supreme exemplar of the Dutch Golden Age, capturing a quiet, allegorical moment of domestic introspection and moral weight. The composition depicts a young woman standing before a table, holding an empty balance, set against a painting of the Last Judgment. This juxtaposition invites deep contemplation on the ephemeral nature of earthly wealth versus spiritual judgment. To preserve the integrity of Vermeer's masterful use of light and shadow, this work is presented with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping across all formats, including canvas.
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.
