NB. the photography seen here may vary in colour as we shoot in a natural daylight studio where lighting conditions are always changing. The images are not photoshopped, this is done to give you a wide range of images to view showing the artwork in changing natural daylight, as in real life.

The cracked varnish face and the burnt wood frame are imperfect, minor deviations in the print face and frame should be expected and are in fact designed into the piece to create an authentic vanitas artwork in every way.
