Frame Option

Dennis Scholl's reclining figure is based on the depiction of the root of Jesse (also known as the Jesse tree), a common motif in Christian iconography, especially in the Middle Ages. It depicts Jesus' descent from the house of King David as a tree of life. A tree grows from the protagonist's belly, with snakes hanging from its branches, fixed by loops. The etching is a variation on a large-format oil painting by Dennis Scholl with the same title.

About the Frame

Dark brown alder features a subtle reddish undertone that brings warmth and refinement to any artwork. Its rich, deep hue makes it an elegant and natural alternative to a classic black frame.

We collaborate with a trusted manufacturer who crafts our frames using real wood veneer. This approach preserves the authentic character and texture of the wood while ensuring sustainable use of high-quality materials. Each frame is designed as a distance frame, keeping the glass slightly away from the artwork for both aesthetic and conservation reasons. We use museum glass for superior protection and clarity, maintaining the artwork’s true colors and fine details. For aesthetic reasons, our artworks are typically framed without a mat, creating a clean, contemporary presentation. With a slim 13 mm profile, the frame enhances the artwork’s presence without overpowering it.
