Abstract: A carrier for transporting a framed painting or drawing, the canvas or painted surface of which has not yet dried or is easily smeared, damaged or soiled, which carrier is characterized by a box-like frame having an open front, a closed back and fitted with spacers for spacing the drawing or painted canvas surface from the closed rear panel of the frame. A flexible binder such as a string or cord is slidably threaded through spaced, parallel openings provided in the bottom panel and slotted holes located in the top panel to terminate in a handle, in order to secure the drawing or painting inside the carrier frame and transport the carrier and drawing or painting. The binder also projects around the rear panel of the carrier frame and may be looped over the top panel and around the handle into the slotted holes to facilitate carrying the frame by grasping the handle.
