Academic Regalia Portrait Canvas Print

This item is a canvas print depicting two individuals, a man and a woman, standing side-by-side and smiling at the camera. Both individuals are dressed in academic regalia, suggesting they are likely university faculty or graduates. The man on the left wears a black academic gown with what appears to be red and blue accents on the stole or hood. He has dark, curly hair and is wearing a black mortarboard with a brown tassel. The woman on the right wears a vibrant blue academic gown with significant black velvet panels, characteristic of doctoral or professional attire. Her gown also features distinct white emblems with a wavy 'S' shape, likely representing a specific institution or society. She has long, dark hair and is wearing a black mortarboard with a yellow or golden tassel. The print itself is rectangular, mounted on a stretcher frame, and appears to be of standard gallery-wrapped construction, where the image extends around the edges of the frame. The colors are vivid, and the image resolution appears good, indicating a quality digital print. There are no obvious signs of damage, such as tears, scuffs, or significant fading, though the textured nature of the canvas material is visible upon close inspection. The background behind the subjects suggests an indoor setting, possibly a hallway or lobby, with a '08' number visible through a window or glass partition. The print is presented hung on a light-colored wall, likely white or off-white, and appears to be in excellent condition with no visible frame distortions or canvas sagging. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially produced, with clean edges and corners.
