A masterclass in tonal translation, this 1922 wood engraving by Timothy Cole captures the quiet, domestic tension of Johannes Vermeer's original 17th-century masterpiece, 'Woman Weighing Pearls'. Cole, a preeminent figure of the American wood engraving revival, spent decades in Europe translating the Old Masters with architectural precision. This rendering preserves Vermeer's delicate play of light and shadow, translating the soft glow of the window and the quiet introspection of the subject into a rich, textured graphic medium. Every 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, maintaining the integrity of Cole's meticulous linework.
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.
