Artwork of ovum (egg) development in womans ovary
Ovum development. Illustration showing the development of a human ovum (egg) in an ovary (pink, at lower centre) during the menstrual cycle. While up to twenty egg-producing primary follicles (small circles in left of ovary) begin to develop, only one reaches maturity. This follicle can be seen developing anti-clockwise from lower centre. It forms a secondary follicle and then a Graafian follicle (largest stage) prior to ovulation, when the ripe ovum is released into the fallopian tube (dark pink). If the ovum is not fertilized the uterus endometrium, or lining (shown in background), is shed in menstruation and another follicle starts to develop

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 artwork captures the intricate process of ovum development within a woman's ovary during the menstrual cycle. The image showcases the delicate journey of a human egg as it progresses through various stages, beautifully illustrated in shades of pink and centered at the lower part of the print. In this mesmerizing depiction, we witness up to twenty primary follicles beginning their development, symbolized by small circles on the left side of the ovary. However, only one lucky follicle reaches full maturity. This chosen follicle can be observed evolving anti-clockwise from the lower center, transforming first into a secondary follicle and then into a Graafian follicle - its largest stage before ovulation. The dark pink fallopian tube serves as an exit route for the ripe ovum once released from its nurturing home. Should fertilization not occur, menstruation takes place where the uterus endometrium or lining is shed - subtly depicted in soft background hues. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates female reproductive anatomy but also provides insight into one of nature's most miraculous processes. It serves as a visual reminder that every month brings new beginnings and possibilities for life to flourish within our bodies.
