About the painting
At Last, My Lovely has a title with the warmth of a song lyric and the relief of a long wait finally over. It speaks of reunion, of the person you have been waiting for walking through the door, and it is one of Vettriano's more openly romantic titles. His paintings often hover between romance and melancholy, and this one leans firmly towards romance.
Its compact size makes it a lovely choice for a bedroom or a gift for someone special, and it fits comfortably into a group of smaller Vettriano prints.

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
This edition is printed on heavyweight museum etching paper, a soft, textured cotton stock chosen because it holds pigment ink with depth and stays stable for generations when it is looked after. If you are framing it yourself, ask your framer for an acid-free mount and backing board and for UV-filtering glazing; conservation or museum glass is worth the extra cost on a signed print. Hang it away from direct sunlight, and avoid bathrooms, kitchens and the wall above a radiator, where heat and damp can cockle the paper over time. When the print arrives, handle it by the edges with clean, dry hands and keep it flat in its packaging until it goes to the framer.
