23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Utamaro Kitagawa's captivating print, "The Heads of Two Women," showcases the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style during the late 1790s in Japan. This exquisite woodblock print, characterized by its polychrome technique, is a testament to Utamaro's artistic brilliance and his profound understanding of human emotion. The print features two women, their faces turned towards each other in a moment of intimate connection. Their expressions are captured with remarkable detail, revealing a complex interplay of emotions - longing, affection, and perhaps a hint of mischief. The woman on the left wears a traditional kimono adorned with intricate patterns, her hat tilted slightly to one side, revealing a cascade of loose, flowing hair. Her companion, dressed in a simple, elegant kimono, gazes intently into her friend's eyes, her own hair pulled back into an elegant chignon. The intricacy of the print's design is further emphasized by the delicate brushwork and the subtle use of color. The women's faces are rendered with remarkable detail, their features softened by the gentle application of color. The background is kept simple, allowing the women to take center stage, their expressions and connection the focal point of the piece. Utamaro's "The Heads of Two Women" is a beautiful example of the artistic style and technique that defined the ukiyo-e period in Japan. It invites the viewer to delve into the world of these two women, to explore their emotions and the bond that connects them. This print is not only a visual feast but also a poignant reminder of the power of human connection.
