Each frame is made to order by one of our framing workshops, so the exact shade and profile may vary slightly from the photos.
A red-brick house with a stepped gable and leaded windows rises over whitewashed lower walls, its green shutters closed below and one red shutter swung open. A woman in a white cap sews in the open doorway, two children crouch at play on the step beside a bench, and a woman in a blue skirt bends over a tub in the narrow passage at the left. Blue-green foliage climbs beside a dark archway, and clouds drift over the rooftops above the sand-coloured cobbles.
The Rijksmuseum calls it an unusual painting in Vermeer's work and remarkable for its time as a portrait of ordinary houses. The street is Vlamingstraat 40-42 in Delft, and Vermeer's aunt Ariaentgen Claes lived in the house at the right with her children from about 1645 until her death in 1670. The painting reached the museum in 1921 as a gift from H.W.A. Deterding of London.
The original: oil on canvas, c. 1658; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) was a Dutch painter working in Delft. Little is documented about his training; it is unclear with whom he apprenticed, though Carel Fabritius and Abraham Bloemaert have both been suggested. He painted a small number of interior scenes of middle-class domestic life, most often a single figure lit by a window on the left, rendered with an exacting stillness and costly pigments such as ultramarine. His paintings are held by the Rijksmuseum, the Mauritshuis and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
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 free shipping and import duties covered,
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 and delivery to your door. Shipping is free, and we cover import duties:
if you are charged a duty when your print arrives, send the receipt to
support@9artprints.com and we will reimburse you.
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
How do I care for my print when it arrives?
Unframed prints travel rolled in a protective tube. This is the standard and safest
way to ship a print: a rolled sheet cannot be creased or have its corners knocked
in transit. Framed prints arrive ready to hang.
Hahnemühle paper is very delicate. Its soft, textured matte surface
marks far more easily than ordinary poster paper, so handle it with care. Wash and dry
your hands first, or wear clean cotton gloves if you have them. Hold the sheet by its
edges with both hands, and never touch the printed surface.
To flatten your print:
Unroll it face up on a clean, dry, flat surface. Never roll it the opposite way or
press out the curl by hand: that can crease the paper and crack the printed surface.
Cover it with a clean sheet of acid-free tissue or plain white paper. Avoid newspaper,
wax paper or anything printed.
Rest a few large books on top, spread evenly, and leave for 24 to 48 hours.
The paper will relax on its own.
Frame your print behind glass as soon as you can, and keep it flat until then. Hang it
out of direct sunlight and away from damp and heat, such as bathrooms and radiators.
If it gathers dust, use a soft, dry brush; never water or cleaning products.
Unsure about anything? Any professional framer will know how to handle and flatten
your print, and you can always write to us before you unroll it.
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.”
