With a nod to Impressionism, this sumptuous figure exudes a realism seen from the lively flesh tones to the theatrical pose. William Paxton, who studied under Jean-Leon Gerome, was a member of the Boston School of artists, noted for his portraiture and figure painting. The authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of colour, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by an imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
