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
Jeanne Becu, later known as Madame du Barry, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph from the 19th century. The image, created after a painting housed in the Royal Château of Versailles, showcases the elegance and opulence of the French court during the reign of King Louis XV. Born in 1743 in Bordeaux, Jeanne Becu rose to prominence in the late 1750s when she became the king's mistress. Her beauty and charm captivated Louis XV, and she quickly became a fixture at the royal court. Madame du Barry was known for her extravagant lifestyle and her love of fashion, which is evident in this detailed depiction of her attire. The lithograph, produced by Cornart de Vaubernier and published in Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France," captures the essence of the Rococo era. Madame du Barry's dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace, while her hair is styled in the latest fashion – a high, piled wig with curls cascading down her back. However, Madame du Barry's time at the court was not without controversy. Her rise to power and her extravagant lifestyle made her a target for criticism, and she was eventually expelled from Versailles during the Reign of Terror in 1793. Despite this, she remains an intriguing figure in French history, and this beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to her beauty and the opulence of the French court during the reign of King Louis XV.
