The Slipper - Charles Martin Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

In Charles Martin's The Slipper, she has lost a shoe, not the evening. A slim woman in a sheer pink dress walks past the foot of a bed, her head sunk on her arm and a spiral curl of dark hair sits at her ear. One foot in a green slipper on a purple carpet scattered with blue flowers while its twin is being kicked off mid-step.

In 1697 Perrault wrote of a slipper of verre, glass, though some readers argue the word was vair, fur, and the slipper has been a puzzle ever since. She treats the fallen slipper as a riddle she does not need solved, because glass or fur, picking it up would end the night, and she is not ready for it to be over. So she lets the carpet keep the answer and spends the last step of the evening with one leg lifted like a ribbon in still air, until the music in her head runs out.

In your reading room, the plum of the bed end deepens the corner like dusk, and a green slipper glints on the floor like a leaf. Leave one thing unexplained tonight, a shoe by the bed or a note on the table, and the corner keeps a warm soft glow, a small spell, until morning.
