Creative Access Description

Colour portrait image showing a photographic print hanging on the white wall of a gallery space.
The print features a black and white image of two people in profile, standing facing opposite one another and touching each others' hands between them. The figure on the left is feminine with blonde hair in an up do and wearing a light coloured evening gown. The figure on the right is more ambiguously gendered, with dark shoulder length hair, and wears buckled boots, black trousers, and a flowy white shirt in the style of a musketeer. At their waist is a sheathed sword.  
The image is rendered in a way that suggests a period romance or similar context. The photograph is printed on light brown large format fibre-based paper with unfinished and noticeably curling edges, furthering the work's antique quality. Underneath the image the work title, artist's name, and year of work are handwritten in cursive. It is fastened to the wall by two nails driven through small grommets in the upper corners of the paper.
