FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 the timeless beauty and wisdom of Sophocles, one of ancient Greece's most revered playwrights. Carved from marble in the 5th century BC, this portrait bust captures the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on classical literature. With his long, flowing beard and weathered features, Sophocles appears as a sage philosopher, embodying the wisdom acquired through a lifetime of experiences. The depth in his eyes reflects years of contemplation and introspection, hinting at the profound insights found within his plays. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back to an era when Greek culture flourished and intellectual pursuits were highly valued. The attention to detail in every crease and wrinkle serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. Sophocles' contribution to literature cannot be overstated; he wrote over 120 plays during his lifetime, including timeless classics like "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone". His works explored complex themes such as fate, morality, and human nature with unparalleled depth and sophistication. In this photograph by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded not only of Sophocles' literary genius but also of the enduring power that art possesses to capture moments frozen in time. This portrait bust stands as a tribute to an extraordinary mind whose legacy continues to inspire generations even today.
