Role Traditional Costume

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
This colour woodblock print, titled "Portraits of Two Actors, 1803" transports us back to the vibrant world of Kabuki theatre in 19th century Japan. Created by Toyokuni Utagawa, a renowned artist of the time, this exquisite piece measures 21.5x15 cm and is currently housed at Galerie Janette Ostier in Paris. The print showcases two actors adorned in traditional costumes, capturing their essence and theatricality with remarkable detail. The actors' expressive faces are beautifully portrayed, revealing their dedication to their craft and the characters they embody on stage. Intricately designed robes drape over their bodies as they strike powerful poses that exude confidence and grace. One actor holds a fan delicately in his hand while the other stands tall with an air of authority. These subtle details add depth to the composition and provide insight into each character's role within Kabuki theatre. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into a rich cultural heritage where storytelling through performance was highly revered. The mastery of Toyokuni Utagawa's technique shines through every brushstroke, showcasing his ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the spirit behind these iconic figures. As we admire this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder by bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of the timeless allure and enduring legacy of Japanese artistry.
