Vintage black and white photography, portrait, original framed print 42x52 cm.

Black and white photographic print representing a close-up of a female face, crossed by a dense grid obtained through the use of a handmade filter. This deliberate overlay of fine, almost geometric lines structures the image and transforms the perception of the portrait by adding a marked graphic dimension. Unlike a chemical alteration, the effect here results from a controlled intervention, evoking the visual experiments characteristic of certain photographic practices from the late 20th century. The face, slightly softened by the print, contrasts with the rigor of this grid, creating a subtle visual balance. Presented with a black mount and frame, the work measures 42 X 52 cm. The print shows slight signs of use, with some micro-scratches and small surface marks visible depending on the light, without affecting the reading of the image. The overall condition is good and retains a strong aesthetic presence. No apparent signature. The work is likely dateable to the late 20th century, reflecting an experimental approach to the photographic medium.
