In October 2018, John Davies Framing had the privilege to frame this masterpiece, choosing the Cezanne Cassetta frame with a 1 cm beige canvas slip. The frame, carved from lime wood on a pine base, is gessoed and gilded with 23.4 carat gold leaf with an 11 cm profile width. This framing not only encapsulates the artwork but enhances its essence, rendering a complete visual delight.

About the Artist
Paul Cézanne, a French post-impressionist painter, is often credited with forming the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th-century Cubism. Born in Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne's work is characterized by its repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes, study of geometric simplification and optical phenomena. His famous works include 'The Card Players' and 'The Bathers'. Cézanne's analytical approach to nature and color influenced the development of modern art, earning him the title 'father of modern art'.
