The Second Breath of Her Smile
'The Second Breath of Her Smile' is an evocative one-of-a-kind artwork featuring an original antique hand-tinted stereoview photograph of a poised young woman. With its subtle color accents and mirrored composition, this 19th-century image radiates quiet elegance and Old World charm.
Discovered at a historic flea market in Budapest, Hungary, this unique photograph has been preserved and archivally mounted to honor its century-old character. The custom frame is handcrafted from richly toned Jatoba (Brazilian cherry) wood, offering warm contrast to the delicate hues of the image. Finished with a white archival mat and UV-protective non-glare museum glass, the presentation balances antique romance with modern sophistication.
Ideal for gallery walls, intimate nooks, or curated shelving, this piece invites conversation and adds a touch of European history to residential interiors, boutique hotels, and creative workspaces.
