17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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
In this etching and drypoint print titled "A woman draped in a sheet" we are transported into the world of Mitsou, a novel by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. Created by Edgar Chahine in 1930, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of the story. The image depicts a female figure gracefully stretching while wrapped in a flowing white sheet. The simplicity of her surroundings, with only a bed as furniture, emphasizes her vulnerability and natural beauty. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line and curve, bringing life to the character. Published first in 1919, Mitsou explores themes of sensuality and self-discovery through its protagonist's journey. This particular scene showcases both intimacy and liberation as the woman confidently embraces her nudity within the privacy of her own space. Chahine's mastery of engraving techniques adds depth and texture to this artwork. His skillful use of light and shadow enhances the tactile quality of the fabric draping over her body. This print from Bridgeman Images' private collection invites us to appreciate not only Colette's literary work but also Chahine's ability to translate it visually. It serves as an invitation for viewers to explore their own perceptions about femininity, freedom, and self-expression.
