For what I paid I expected considerably more than this.
The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen…
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. The clarity of Jahangir makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. It is the best thing in the home office now.
The picture itself is nice and the execution is average. It took eighteen days to get here with two tracking updates. The colors in the darker areas run together slightly. Average is not the same thing as bad.
Glad it arrived safely, and sorry the wait was longer than it should have been. Email us and we will refund the shipping cost.
This turned out better than the photos led me to expect. The reproduction of Jahangir is faithful enough that I would buy another. Our place is a third-floor walk-up and the package came up the stairwell without a scratch. Nearly perfect, and I am not complaining.
