A masterclass in tonal translation, 'The Pearl Necklace' is a 1916 wood engraving by the acclaimed American master Timothy Cole, meticulously translating Johannes Vermeer's iconic 17th-century Dutch Golden Age masterpiece. Cole’s exceptional wood engraving technique captures the subtle play of light, the soft texture of the yellow jacket, and the quiet, introspective moment of the subject with architectural precision. This historic reproduction honors the delicate chiaroscuro of Vermeer's original canvas while showcasing the distinct graphic elegance of early 20th-century printmaking. Each print, regardless of format, is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, preserving the integrity of Cole's exquisite lines.
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.
