Subtle metal frame for portraits

These beautiful and fair ink portraits have been framed in a 3/16 inch wide champagne-silver metal frame.  The thin border created by this frame is mirrored by the soft grey border of the double mat.  Such borders draw attention to the light washing of the ink used to create the faces, filling out the forms and displaying the gradients of the tones.  The top layer of this double mat aims to match the cream tones of the portraits.  This ensures that the full attention of the viewer rests on the pieces.  The frames offer a contemporary touch to these graceful portraits with a deep recess of 3/8 of an inch from the flat face of the frame down to the art.  The overall affect is delicate and unique.
