The hand behind it
François Clouet
François Clouet was the leading portrait painter at the French court in the mid sixteenth century. His portraits are precise and cool, with every detail of lace and jewellery in place, and his chalk drawings of the royal family are as prized as his paintings. He was born around 1510 in Tours, the son of the court painter Jean Clouet, and trained with his father, succeeding him as painter to the king. He worked in Paris for Francis I, Henry II, Francis II and Charles IX. His portrait of Elizabeth of Austria in the Louvre is considered his finest, and he drew Mary, Queen of Scots. His Lady in Her Bath is one of the few mythological or genre paintings by him and one of the most discussed French pictures of the century. Many attributions to him remain unproven. He died in 1572. In Portrait of Henri II, look at the tiny, exact detail of the costume.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Portrait of King Charles IX of France in a different size or shape?
Yes. Portrait of King Charles IX of France is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 222 x 115 cm (87.4 x 45.3 in).
