Oval Canvas (narrow) — Birch Frame 24 mm, 400 g linen, 30×18 to 200×120 cm

Why a narrow oval 24 mm deep

A slender ellipse of about 5:3 – elegant and easy to hang either way. The narrow oval canvas in birch with linen is the flat version: 24 mm deep, with edges that barely show. The linen weighs 400 g/m², is triple-primed and keeps the tension even across the whole narrow oval on the 24 mm birch stretcher.

The hard birch plies hold the tension of 400 g linen for years, even in the largest size of 200×120 cm. In birch at 24 mm, this shape suits landscapes, horizons and standing figures.
