Why a narrow oval 36 mm deep

With 36 mm gallery depth, the narrow oval canvas in birch with linen stands 3.6 cm off the wall – enough to carry the motif around the edges. The linen weighs 400 g/m², is triple-primed and keeps the tension even across the whole narrow oval on the 36 mm birch stretcher.
