This portrait is available as a high quality giclée reproduction print using technology that preserves the exquisite detail and color of the original work. Giclée (meaning “sprayed ink”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto high quality canvas, which is then stretched on a 1.5" deep wood frame. The smooth transitions of color gradients of this process result in gallery-quality reproductions.
Framing is not necessary, as edges are gallery wrapped. Each giclée print is hand-signed by the artist. NOTE: Your giclée is produced at the time of order and will be shipped within approximately 2 weeks.
The original portrait created in 2013 is currently on loan for a temporary exhibition at the historic Ford’s Theatre and museum in Washington, D.C. through 2017. It is a collage, mixed media & acrylic work on canvas and measures 48 x 60 in., 4 ft x 5 ft
