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 striking image captures the intense and complex character of Philiste, as portrayed by the renowned French playwright Corneille in his tragic play "La Veuve" (The Widow), first performed in Paris in 1634. The character of Philiste, a noblewoman driven to madness by grief and revenge, is one of Corneille's most memorable creations. In this production, the actress brings Philiste to life with her expressive face and dramatic gestures, conveying the depth of emotion and turmoil that lies beneath the character's stoic exterior. Corneille's "La Veuve" is a masterpiece of 17th-century French theatre, exploring themes of love, loss, and vengeance. The play tells the story of Philiste, a widow who seeks to avenge her husband's death by seducing and then betraying the man she believes to be responsible. However, as the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and Philiste's own motivations and desires are far more complex than they first appear. The image of Philiste, dressed in the elaborate and ornate attire of the time, serves as a visual reminder of the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of Louis XIII. The intricate details of her costume, from the lace collars and cuffs to the intricately embroidered fabric, reflect the high standards of fashion and design that were prized during this period. Despite the passage of time, Corneille's "La Veuve" and the character of Philiste continue to captivate audiences with their timeless themes and compelling storytelling. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the world of 17th-century French theatre and allowing us to appreciate the artistry and skill of the actors and playwrights who brought these stories to life.
