Why portraiture

For centuries, people commissioned portraits to remember each other.

Long before photographs, a portrait was how a relationship was kept: a marriage, a promise, a likeness to outlive the moment. Painters gave couples a place in the art of their time.

Yugal continues that tradition. Your portrait is a new work, inspired by a real historical style and made around your own faces. It is not a reproduction, and it never pretends to be an antique.

Our approach

The canvas

Made to live with you.

Your portrait is printed on canvas and wrapped around a wooden stretcher frame, with the image continuing around its edges. No ornate frame, nothing to assemble: it arrives ready to hang.

  • 01

    20 × 30 in

    A generous portrait size that holds a wall on its own.

  • 02

    Canvas texture

    A real painting surface, so the portrait reads like one.

  • 03

    Gallery-wrapped edges

    Stretched over a wooden frame, finished on every side.

  • 04

    Ready to hang

    Delivered free across India, packed to travel safely.

The gift

Not another photograph of them. A portrait of them.

For an anniversary, a wedding, or the parents who never had their portrait painted. Add a few words and your own voice, and let them discover it slowly.

  • 01

    A note in the box

    Your message, printed and tucked in with the canvas.

  • 02

    Your voice

    Record a short audio note they can play when they open it.

  • 03

    A private reveal

    A page with their portrait, its story and its music, to share when the moment is right.
