Oval Canvas (wide) — Birch Frame 48 mm, 380 g cotton, 30×25 to 200×166 cm

Why a wide oval 48 mm deep

The wide ellipse is the classic medallion shape: barely stretched, gentle and balanced. The wide oval canvas in birch with cotton is our deepest version: 48 mm, the painting stands almost 5 cm off the wall. The cotton (380 g/m²) goes onto the 48 mm birch stretcher triple-primed or, for your own ground, unprimed.

What birch with cotton at 48 mm is for

Birch with cotton pairs a stable wide oval stretcher with the standard acrylic fabric – also for pouring and heavy impasto. At 48 mm the painting becomes a wall object – especially from about 80 cm. The hard birch plies hold the tension of 380 g cotton for years, even in the largest size of 200×166 cm. Good subjects for this shape in birch: portraits, flower pieces and still lifes.

From 30×25 cm to 200×166 cm

18 sizes from 30×25 cm to 200×166 cm (width × height) are available for the 48 mm wide oval canvas in birch with cotton – the smallest from €72.00. For comparison: 80×67 cm costs €177.00 in this version. Large sizes get a centre cross from 130 cm side length, so the tension holds. Intermediate sizes on request.
