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 the exquisite set design for Jean Racine's tragic play, Phedre. Created in 1923 by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this piece combines pencil, watercolor, and gouache on paper to bring Racine's timeless tale to life. The intricate details of the set design transport us to a world of Greek mythology and tragedy. The stage is adorned with majestic columns that tower above the performers, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and power. The temple-like structure in the background adds an air of mystique and reverence. Bakst's artistic prowess shines through as he captures every nuance of emotion within his creation. From the sorrowful expressions on the faces of the characters to their graceful movements, it is evident that this set design was crafted with utmost care and attention to detail. Phedre is a ballets russes diaghilev production that has left an indelible mark on history. This print allows us to marvel at not only Bakst's talent but also at how art can transcend time and space. It serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and invites us into a world where passion collides with fate. Displayed at Musee National d'Art Moderne in Centre Pompidou, Paris, France, this artwork continues to inspire generations with its beauty and significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both Racine's enduring legacy as a playwright and Bakst's contribution as an exceptional artist
