symbol of nobility and grace.
by joshua reynolds (1723–1792)
greatest english portraitist of the 18th century and the first president of the royal academy, renowned for his elegant, neoclassical aristocratic portraits.

poetic and magnetic portrait.
by george romney (1734–1802)
refined english portraitist, known for his soft, poetic style and for his celebrated portraits of emma hamilton, his muse.

the prints are finely hand-watercolorized, with soft, deep colors that enhance volumes and skin tones, giving the works a warm, painterly presence.

perfect for elegantly enhancing classic spaces, they are also surprisingly effective in eclectic or contemporary interiors, where they create a striking contrast.

dimensions: 55 x 66 cm
