This work, 'The Kiss by Doisneau,' is inspired by the famous black-and-white image by the French photographer Robert Doisneau.
Drawn with indelible Chinese ink and oil painted on a cotton canvas, with a high-quality wooden frame.
I have always felt that this image carried a sense of romanticism and tenderness, which is why I allowed myself to make a personal interpretation.
I will send the frame to the client, properly packaged and protected, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
