Reproduction of oil painting is very expensive and a time taking process. The completed painting requires at least a week for drying completely. After that, we apply two layers of protective coating to secure the painting from dust and mold. Only completely dried painting can apply a coating or the painting will be damaged. The process of painting may take more than 4 weeks to 6 weeks based on the size and complexity.
For stretching, We will add a 1.6" additional white canvas border on all four sides for stretching purposes. We do not provide stretched canvas due to several issues. We cannot take the risk of damage while shipping. Also, there are size limitations for sending framed canvas. Shipping a large-sized stretched canvas might cost more than a painting itself. So we suggest you find a nearby local shop for the framing process.
After showing the final result to the customer for approval and after painting dried and ready for shopping. we will send you the painting in a fine hard plastic tube. You will receive a courier tracking number by e-mail.

Nollekens was born in London, the son of the Flemish painter Josef Frans Nollekens (1702–1748) who later moved from Antwerp to London. He practiced under another Flemish immigrant in London, the sculptor Peter Scheemakers, before learning and working as an antique retailer, restorer and copier in Rome from 1760 or 1762. The sculptures he made in Rome included a marble of Timocles Before Alexander, for which he was awarded fifty guineas by the Society of Arts, and busts of Laurence Sterne and David Garrick, who were visiting the city.
On his return to London in 1770 he set up as a maker of busts and monuments at 9, Mortimer Street, where he built up a large studio. Although working on mythological subjects, it was through the portrait busts that he became famous and one of the most modern portrait sculptors in Britain. In 1772 he married Mary, daughter of the judge and grocer Saunders Welch.
He enjoyed the patronage of King George III and went on to sculpt a number of British political figures, including George III himself, William Pitt the Younger, Charles James Fox, the Duke of Bedford, and Charles Watson-Wentworth. He also created busts of figures from the arts such as Benjamin West. Most of his subjects were represented in classical costumes.
Faith, a sculpture commissioned by Henry Howard following the death of his wife Maria in 1788 in childbirth at Corby Castle, is said to be Nollekens' finest work. The sculpture can be viewed in the Howard Chapel at the Parish Church of Wetheral, Cumbria.
He died in London in 1823, having made a considerable fortune from his work; he left around £200,000 in his will. He is buried in Paddington Parish Church with a monument by William Behnes.
