Information about this Pastel Painting, framed with museum glass

Pastels are made from pure pigment and a little binder, which helps to create the brilliance—and the delicacy—of the paintings. The paper or board surfaces are designed to hold many layers of the medium, so no fixative is used. All materials used in the painting and framing have archival stability, and this work is framed with museum glass. The medium is a delicate one, so please handle this work with care. Although the glass will reduce the effect of UV light, it is not advisable to hang this or any framed artwork in direct sun. If the glass requires cleaning, use water or a non-alcohol cleaner sprayed on a microfiber cloth rather than sprayed directly on the surface of the glass. Wipe the glass gently in a circular motion.
