Vælg mellem vores forudindstillede størrelser, der matcher kunstværkets originale proportioner.
Du kan indtaste dine egne mål for at passe til en bestemt ramme eller plads. Hvis den valgte størrelse ikke stemmer overens med det originale billedes proportioner, vil vi enten beskære kunstværket eller udvide maleriet med yderligere håndmalede elementer. En digital skitse sendes til din godkendelse, før produktionen påbegyndes.
Bemærk venligst, at forhåndsvisningen på skærmen ikke afspejler den faktiske beskæring eller udvidelse. Kun skitsen vil nøjagtigt vise den endelige komposition.
Selvom specialmål er mulige, anbefaler vi at vælge en dimension fra den foruddefinerede liste for at bevare de originale proportioner.
