Description
Le Printemps by Pierre-Auguste Cot (1837-1883), in a Private Collection. A stunning, framed replica on artists’ grade canvas. Springtime, the season of rebirth and awakening, kindles the spirit of romance for a pair of young lovers. Together they lose themselves in the moment of their first innocent seduction as light seems to almost radiate from the young lady’s face. Our authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting’s texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. Our imported, gold-toned, multi-tiered hardwood frame includes a solid brass museum plate etched with the title and artist’s name.
