Most people search for “canvas print” or “wall art” - but what they’re really looking for is a giclée print: a museum-grade reproduction of the original masterpiece, printed with archival pigment inks on fine art canvas.

Giclée (pronounced 'zhee-clay') is a French term meaning 'to spray,' referring to how ink is precisely sprayed onto canvas or paper, creating incredibly detailed fine art prints. It’s the gold standard in museum-quality printing, loved by artists, galleries, and museums worldwide.

Your artwork will be individually printed on fine art paper, using archival inks. The result is outstanding color accuracy, exceptional detail, and an artwork that genuinely resembles the original—not just another poster. With a protective UV coating, your paper print will stay vibrant, fade-resistant, and beautiful for over a century.

About Giclée Fine Art Printing

Here's a simple trick: use painter’s tape to mark the print size directly on your wall, and step back to see how it feels. Generally, larger sizes around 36 in wide work beautifully in living rooms or open spaces. Medium sizes around 24 in fit nicely in bedrooms, hallways, or offices. Hanging it above a sofa? Choose a print that's roughly two-thirds the width of your couch. Still unsure? Start with our popular 21.7 × 12.1 in size—it fits comfortably in most spaces!

For a more artistic approach: choosing a size closer to the original artwork ensures you experience the artist’s intended visual impact and authenticity. Of course, since most of us don't live in spacious baroque palaces, your available space and personal taste should ultimately guide your decision.

In many cases, yes! If you need a specific size to fit a particular space or frame, feel free to reach out—we're happy to see what’s possible. Because each print is made to order, we can often accommodate custom dimensions as long as they respect the proportions of the original painting.Just send us an email at info@topartprint.com with the title of the artwork and the size you're looking for. We’ll get back to you quickly with options and pricing.

Good to know: when you choose the size of your artwork, the Print Size shown in the Your Selection box refers to the actual image area—that’s the part you’ll see once the canvas is stretched or framed.

The Total Size includes an additional 1.2 in white border on each side, added specifically for stretching.
So yes—this white border is added on top of your selected print size. You get the full artwork at the dimensions you picked, plus extra canvas to make stretching smooth and professional.

For example, if you select a 21.7 × 12.1 in print, the full canvas you receive will measure 24.0 × 14.4 in—giving your framer plenty of room to create a clean, gallery-quality stretch.

Both options are wonderful choices! Going unframed gives you maximum flexibility—you can take your print to a local framing shop for personalized options and expert advice tailored to your décor. This is especially great if you have specific design ideas or want to match existing frames in your home.

However, keep in mind that a print truly comes to life when properly framed. Art professionals often say: 'The frame contributes 30% of the artwork’s overall impact.' A well-chosen frame elevates and completes your print.

If you choose our framing option, your print will arrive professionally framed and ready to hang right out of the box. We focus exclusively on traditional framing methods, ensuring every artwork receives the respectful presentation it deserves—this is why we don't offer gallery wrap options.

Important shipping note: Due to courier restrictions, we can ship framed prints up to 28 in on the longest side. Larger prints will arrive safely rolled in a tube, ready for you to frame locally.

About the Painting

Swaying Dancer (Dancer in Green) presents a precisely observed view of ballerinas in mid-performance, captured at an oblique angle that places the viewer high above the stage. The central figure, shown in a full-length turn, anchors the composition with an outstretched arm and raised leg. Her vivid green tutu and lithe form dominate the foreground, while the surrounding dancers - partially cropped and dressed in contrasting orange - hint at a more expansive scene beyond the edge of the canvas. This truncation, derived from photographic and Japanese-print influences, underscores the painting’s sense of spontaneity and modernity.

The color palette favors vibrant green for the main performer, offset by flecks of orange on the other costumes. The background, a shadowy suggestion of set pieces and foliage, dissolves into loose strokes that shift focus back to the dancers themselves. These bold chromatic choices underscore the interplay of cool and warm tones, guiding the eye in rhythmic alternation across the figures. Rather than relying on stark contrast, the artist creates unity with balanced harmonies, deftly capturing the theatrical lighting that both illuminates the dancers and leaves their environs in partial obscurity.

The technique employed reveals a mastery of pastel. Rapid strokes describe tulle, ribbons, and limbs in motion, while smudged areas convey a fleeting, dreamlike quality befitting a performance captured at its peak. Layering pigments allows subtle modulation of tone, especially in the airy tutus, which appear both diaphanous and texturally rich. This variety of mark-making reflects an intention to record the dancers’ swift passages without sacrificing detail.

Compositionally, the off-centered arrangement places the focal figure near the vertical axis of the paper but shifted to one side, creating a diagonal sweep that leads our gaze from her extended limb toward the group in the rear. Such an asymmetrical layout imbues the painting with movement, reflecting contemporary interests in framing and cropping. By positioning the viewer as an unseen spectator in an opera box, the artist evokes the bustle and immediacy of the performance, a contrast to earlier traditions that favored static, centered subjects.

In the broader context of late 19th-century Paris, the fascination with modern leisure activities and the newly opened opera house finds clear expression here. The dancers’ poised yet hurried maneuvers embody the Impressionist preoccupation with capturing fleeting moments of daily life. Through dynamic composition, nuanced color relationships, and expert pastel handling, the painting remains a remarkable testament to the era’s aesthetic and cultural shifts.
