Framed Color Print After Jacques-Louis David The Love of Paris and Helen - A framed color print on paper, being a reproduction of the 1788 Neoclassical oil painting The Love of Paris and Helen by Jacques-Louis David.

The print is a modern mechanical reproduction, characterized by smooth color transitions and a lack of visible plate marks.

No signatures, edition numbers, or publisher marks are visible on the front of the print or the backing paper.Width: 17 3/4 inchesHeight: 14 1/2 inches.
