In this artwork you will receive a museum-grade giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308 gsm) – a premium fine art paper chosen for its matte finish, soft texture, and archival quality. This print is part of an open edition (not limited).

• Print type: Giclée
• Paper type: Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm
• Finish: Matte
• Tone: Natural white (off-white)

The paper is acid-free and archival, ensuring longevity over decades. Created in a fully color-managed workflow using the paper-specific ICC profile for tonal accuracy.

Hahnemühle Photo Rag is one of the most popular fine art papers among artists, illustrators, and photographers. Its super matte surface produces muted blacks with even color reproduction and exceptional detail. The paper’s subtle texture and chalky-smooth cotton feel create beautifully soft color gradients. Because of its delicate surface, careful handling is recommended. While suitable for mounting, the cotton edges may fray if not handled with care.

If you select the framed edition (available only in 70 × 100 cm), your artwork will arrive professionally mounted in a black Nielsen Quadrum solid wood frame, handcrafted in Germany from FSC®-certified timber and fitted with 3 mm clear acrylic glazing for protection.

Crescent over the Dome is presented as a museum-grade giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308gsm) – a matte, cotton-based archival paper known for its soft surface, natural whites, and timeless character. The absence of gloss allows light and tonal gradients to unfold gently, giving the image a velvety clarity and subtle depth.

This composition centers on the dome crowned with the crescent – a symbol rising into quiet sky, its surface adorned with delicate ornament and framed by soft daylight. It is less about documentation than about evocation: the balance between form, symbolism, and stillness. Printed on Photo Rag, it carries a painterly, organic quality that enhances the calm presence of its monochrome tones.

As part of the Dustlight Archive, my vision is to preserve these fleeting encounters with place and memory, translating them into enduring fine art objects. Each print is meant to resonate beyond the surface, offering stillness and depth – a fragment of timeless atmosphere for your space.

Your artwork is produced as a museum-grade giclée print, crafted to preserve depth, tone, and detail with archival longevity.

By default, it is supplied unframed and without any mounting or hanging system.

For best results, we recommend:

• Handling: with clean cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints.
• Framing: for longevity, framing behind UV-protective glass or acrylic is recommended.
• Hanging: away from direct sunlight or high humidity to preserve depth and tone.

If you select the framed edition (available only in 70 × 100 cm), your artwork will be professionally mounted in a black Nielsen Quadrum solid wood frame, handcrafted in Germany from FSC®-certified timber.

Each frame includes an acid-free backing board, archival insert, and a ready-to-hang nail-mount fixture for secure wall display.
