FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

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 showcases a mesmerizing detail of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' masterpiece, "Oedipus and the Sphinx". Painted in 1808 with oil on canvas, this artwork measures an impressive 189x144 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology where Oedipus confronts the fearsome Sphinx. The intense gaze between Oedipus and the enigmatic creature creates an atmosphere of suspense and mystery. Armed with a spear, Oedipus stands resolute as he attempts to solve the riddle posed by the Sphinx. In this particular detail captured by Fine Art Finder, we witness Oedipus fleeing from his wounded encounter with the Sphinx. His expression reveals both fear and determination as he desperately tries to escape his tragic fate. The background adds depth to the scene, emphasizing Oedipus' desperate flight. Ingres masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional turmoil of this iconic mythological tale. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against destiny and our relentless pursuit for answers amidst life's enigmas. As we contemplate this profound artwork, we are reminded of Ingres' exceptional talent for storytelling through brushstrokes. Through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful composition, he invites us into a world filled with tragedy, heroism, and timeless questions that continue to resonate today.
