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
The Boxer. Portrait of Boris Snezhkovsky, 1933 captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the raw power and vulnerability of its subject. This exquisite oil on canvas painting, part of a private collection, showcases the artistic brilliance of Konstantin Andreyevich Somov, a renowned Russian painter from the early 20th century. In this genre scene, we witness the intimate friendship between Somov and Snezhkovsky beautifully depicted through symbolism and poetic imagery. The nude portrayal of Boris Snezhkovsky evokes a sense of freedom and liberation that transcends societal norms. It is an exploration into themes such as love, homosexuality, and homosexual relationships during a time when such expressions were often suppressed. Somov's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to capture emotion with every brushstroke. Through subtle details like body language and facial expression, he brings out the tenderness shared between these two friends. The composition exudes both strength and vulnerability as we see Boris assume the pose of a boxer while maintaining an air of romanticism. The juxtaposition creates intrigue within this portrait. As viewers engage with this artwork today, it serves as a reminder that art has always been at the forefront of challenging societal boundaries. It invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions about love, friendship, and human connection.
