Photographic print after Roger Corbeau, framed, 30 x 40 cm

Black and white photographic print from an exhibition dedicated to French cinema. This print depicts actress Maria Schell in the lead role in the 1955 film Gervaise, directed by René Clément, an adaptation of Émile Zola's novel L'Assommoir. The image, by Roger Corbeau, a master of stage portraiture, captures the character's dramatic intensity in a setting marked by realism. The print is on satin-finish Bristol board, with a subtly glossy surface, which delicately captures the nuances of black and white. Presented behind glass in a 30 X 40 cm black frame with a cream mat, this piece is in excellent condition, free of stains and creases, and ready to hang.
