Early color print after Bouguereau’s “Yvonne.” Found in a beautiful antique wood frame with carved/painted inlay details. When the old backing was removed, an original 1880s Victorian cabinet photo of a couple was found tucked behind the print — included with the sale.
Details:
• Frame size approx. 13” x 11”
• Early 20th-century print (dated 1896 in the image)
• Antique inlaid wood frame with original glass
• Bottom edge of the print is folded under by a previous owner to fit the frame
• Backing currently taped and may need resetting
• Hidden 1880–1885 cabinet photo included
• Frame and print show normal age wear
Ships from a non-smoking home.
Bouguereau’s printed reproductions often used Latinized lettering, where:
• U becomes V
• W becomes VV
So “BOUGUEREAU” commonly appears printed as “BOGVEREAV” or “BOUVGVEREAV” on older prints.
