The photo is printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl paper, a premium quality fine art paper which delivers accurate and vibrant colors in print as you see onscreen.
Photo size: 43 x 28 cm

The photo paints the beauty of an ancient beauty of China. This photograph depicts the beauty of Yang Guifei (AD 713-756) whose beauty brought down a dynasty. Guifei was said to have “a face that would shame any flower.” Her loveliness was such that she is known up to the present day as one of the Four Beauties, women from ancient China legendary for their looks and the influence they exerted over emperors and kings who have fallen for their charms.
The photograph participated in my solo exhibition at Medinaceli Museum, Ducal Palace of Medinaceli, Spain during November 2021. Over 30 photographs that Viet Ha Tran created during 2013 - 2021 were exhibited on this occasion. The Medinaceli Museum dedicated to cultural exhibitions was inaugurated inside Palacio Ducal de Medinaceli in 2008. The Palace was declared Spanish National Asset of Cultural Interest in 1979.
Comes with signed & numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Also artist signature at the back of the photo.
The package will be sent in a carton tube by UPS.
