A young woman kneels on a green floor with her back to us, one hand gripping the frame of a long window cut high in the wall and the other raised to her face. Beyond lies a band of blue-green sea. Her honey-coloured hair is gathered low at the nape, and her ivory silk gown, cinched with a broad black sash, slips from one shoulder and pools around her in heavy folds. The subject is Dorigen from Chaucer's Franklin's Tale, waiting for her husband's return.
Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) was an English painter and designer, born in Birmingham. He left Exeter College, Oxford, where he had been training for the ministry, after meeting Dante Gabriel Rossetti, whose influence shaped his early painting, and became a founding partner with William Morris in the decorative arts firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. His paintings, drawing on medieval legend and classical myth, developed a dreamlike, tapestry-like style distinct from the earlier Pre-Raphaelites and closely tied to the Aesthetic Movement. The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery holds the largest collection of his work in the world, alongside Tate and the Ashmolean Museum.
Each print is a giclée, printed to order. Unframed prints are made on Hahnemühle German Etching, a 310gsm matte fine-art paper. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper and arrive in a handmade solid-wood frame with low-reflection glazing, ready to hang. Ships worldwide with free delivery to 30+ countries.

The print is colorful and pleasing to the eye. The paper is of high quality with good thickness that is great for display by itself or in a frame. A good price for the quality! Thank you!

9 Art Prints was founded by author Arif Anwar around two simple ideas: that great art should reach far beyond the familiar Western canon, and that fine art reproductions should be made with exceptional materials.
So we seek out remarkable artists and traditions from around the world, then reproduce them using carefully sourced images, archival giclée printing, and fine art papers from Hahnemühle.
Every work chosen by hand, delivered with shipping and import duties included,
and a real person to help before and after you buy.
Who chooses the art?
People do. Every work in the collection is chosen by hand, from the great names
of art history to artists and traditions you rarely see as prints: Persian miniatures,
South Asian painting, Bauhaus posters, Belle Époque illustration and much more.
What is included in the price?
Your print, delivery to your door and any import duties. Shipping is free and
duties are covered, so there is nothing more to pay when it arrives.
Can I talk to a real person?
Always. Write to support@9artprints.com or call
+1 (647) 455 2253, before you order or long after your print arrives. Choosing a size,
asking about a custom size or a framing question: just ask.
What if something is wrong when it arrives?
We make it right at no cost. If your print arrives damaged, defective or not what
you ordered, tell us and we will arrange a replacement or another fix. You won't need
to send it back. Returns & guarantee
What paper do you use?
Our principal fine-art papers include
Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm and
Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm.
German Etching has a substantial, lightly textured surface that works
exceptionally well for paintings and richly coloured works. Photo Rag
has a smoother cotton surface suited to graphic, modernist and highly
detailed imagery.
Paper is selected according to the character of the artwork rather than
using one generic stock for everything. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
What does “giclée” mean?
Giclée is a fine-art printing process using archival pigment inks and
high-resolution inkjet printing, made to reproduce subtle colour gradations,
fine detail and tonal depth.
Will large prints still look sharp?
Large-format reproduction depends heavily on the quality of the underlying
artwork file. We source the highest-resolution material available and
prepare each image for print rather than simply enlarging a small internet image.
That is especially important with historic paintings, posters and archival
works where source quality varies considerably.
What about your framed prints?
Our framed pieces use solid-wood frames, handmade to order, with low-reflection glazing. There is no mount: the print fills the frame. Framed prints are printed on 200gsm matte fine-art paper.
Will the colours look exactly like my screen?
Screens emit light; paper reflects it, so no physical print can be identical
to every monitor or phone display. We prepare our artwork specifically for
print and aim for accurate colour, contrast and tonal reproduction.
The texture and surface of fine-art paper also give the finished piece
a physical depth that cannot be shown completely on a screen.
“I am not just impressed; I'm blown away by the quality and overall experience. The wood grain in the frame is beautiful and the print quality is superb.”
