Albert, thank you for the question I would be happy to clarify for you.

Umbria is the name of the paper made in Italy if I'm not wrong by Fabriano. Yes A4 is the size 29.7cm x 21cm. The paper is cream color closer to white. If you care to know more in regard to the Umbria paper I am sure you could do a net search and get extensive. The texture of the paper is soft and absorbent. It is excellent for charcoal work. I have used Roma as well as some French papers. It all comes down to preference and what you would like from a paper.

Ilaria, good guess Giovany Moroni, Theodore Gericault no but both have the touch. David, I
