Commissioned in 1778, Sir Joshua Reynolds’ portrait of Lady Caroline Howard stands as a definitive masterwork of the Classical era. Reynolds, the founding President of the Royal Academy, employs his signature Grand Style to capture the young daughter of the 5th Earl of Carlisle. The composition balances architectural stability with delicate naturalism, depicting Lady Caroline plucking a rose against a dramatic, atmospheric landscape. To preserve the structural integrity of this historical work, every format—including our canvas—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in its true historical proportions without cropping, delivering a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
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.
