About the painting
Angel is a single-word title of the kind Vettriano used when he wanted the viewer to bring their own meaning to a picture. Angels, fallen and otherwise, appear more than once in his work: his collection Fallen Angels gave its name to one of his best-known books. In his hands the word is rarely innocent, carrying both affection and a hint of irony, and the figures he painted under such titles tend to be more complicated than their names suggest.
Angel works well as a stand-alone piece and as part of a group of Vettriano's figure studies. Its moderate size makes it adaptable, suiting a bedroom, a study or a quieter corner of a living room where it can be looked at closely.
About this edition
This is a signed limited edition of 100 prints plus 10 Artist's Proofs. Each print is signed and numbered by Jack Vettriano and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The image measures 39 x 34 cm, with a mount size of 61.5 x 55 cm. With only 100 numbered prints in the main edition, Angel is one of the smaller runs among Vettriano's signed releases, and as one of our more accessible signed editions it is a good entry point into his work.

Before you buy
If this is your first Vettriano print, it's worth a quick read first: the buying guide, the certificate of authenticity guide, and the investment guide between them cover what to check and what to expect.
Framing, display and care
As a fine art giclée, this print is made with archival pigment inks on acid-free fine art paper, which is what allows a limited edition like this to keep its colour for decades. To protect that, frame it with an acid-free mount and UV-filtering glass, and hang it out of direct sunlight. Steady conditions matter more than anything else: a dry interior wall is ideal, while bathrooms, kitchens and the space above a radiator are best avoided. If you are not framing straight away, store the print flat, in its protective packaging, somewhere cool and dry, and only handle it by the edges. A good framer will be able to advise on moulding and mount colour to suit the image and the room.
Our promise
Authenticity matters more than anything when you buy a limited edition, which is why every print we supply comes with a certificate of authenticity and is sent with fully insured UK delivery. International delivery is available on enquiry. As an official stockist we can tell you exactly what you are buying, and we are glad to talk through edition details, framing or delivery before you commit.
