Arched Portal Canvas — Birch Frame 24 mm, 400 g linen, 30×24 to 140×110 cm

The portal arch at 24 mm

The arch opens the picture like a window: straight below, a semicircle across the full width above. At 24 mm deep, the portal arch canvas in birch with linen sits flat against the wall and keeps the focus on the picture surface. The linen weighs 400 g/m², is triple-primed and keeps the tension even across the whole portal arch on the 24 mm birch stretcher.

Birch with linen is our premium portal arch combination – made for oil painting, commissions and work for sale or exhibition. At 24 mm it stays understated and hangs well in groups. The hard birch plies hold the tension of 400 g linen for years, even in the largest size of 140×110 cm. Good subjects for this shape in birch: window views, architecture, floral and sacred motifs.
