Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Act IV of "The Marriage of Figaro" by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. Engraved by Claude Nicolas Malapeau in 1785, the image showcases the talent and artistry of these renowned French artists. In this particular moment, we witness a pivotal interaction between two characters: Suzanne and Rosine. The atmosphere is filled with intrigue as they engage in conversation within an opulent interior setting. Both women are adorned in exquisite costumes, adding to the elegance and grandeur of the scene. The composition beautifully portrays a masked ball or party, where dancing and merriment abound. However, amidst the festivities, there is an underlying tension as Suzanne seeks guidance from Rosine on matters related to her marriage. The caption hints at a promise made by one character to another - "He will return you pure and chaste to your husband". This statement raises questions about trust, fidelity, and perhaps even deception within relationships. As viewers delve into this intricate narrative captured through ink on paper, they are transported back in time to experience the complexities of love and human connections depicted in this classic opera play. It serves as a reminder that even amidst celebrations and joyous occasions like balls or parties, hidden emotions can unravel behind masks worn both literally and metaphorically.
