Proudly made in the USA, this canvas print arrives ready to hang. All of our canvas prints are gallery-wrapped, i.e. the canvas image is hand-stretched over a sturdy wood frame and stapled on rear for permanent mounting. The heavy-duty frame is made with 1.5-inch wood cross bars throughout, creating a striking three-dimensional piece of artwork.
