Framed Photographic Print titled "No Shoes on The Bed" by Yamalieu Khuu

This item is a framed photographic print titled "No Shoes on The Bed" by Yamalieu Khuu, dated 2025 and originating from Santa Monica, CA. The photograph itself measures 9x16 inches and depicts a figure lying prone on a bed, viewed from behind. The subject is wearing dark undergarments (possibly a bikini or similar two-piece swimwear) and has their legs bent at the knees, with the soles of their feet visible. A notable and central detail of the photograph, as implied by the title, is the visible dirt or grime on the soles of the subject's feet, contrasting with the presumed cleanliness of the bed. The background appears to feature a textured wall or screen, possibly made of woven natural material. The photo uses warm lighting, highlighting the subject's skin tones and creating a somewhat intimate or casual atmosphere. The overall composition emphasizes the human form and the narrative implied by the title. The digital print is professionally framed in a black, matte-finish rectangular frame measuring 23.875" x 16.875" x 3/4". The photograph is matted, with a wide white mat surrounding the image, providing a border and separation from the frame. Below the photographic print, centered on the white matting, is a small, rectangular brass plate with engraved information detailing the artist, location, and year of creation. The frame appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible scratches, chips, or damage. The print itself seems well-preserved under glass (or acrylic), with no apparent fading, creasing, or spotting. The craftsmanship of the framing, stated to be by Framebridge, suggests professional quality and attention to detail, indicating that it is a finished art piece intended for display. The estimated age of the piece, based on the documented creation date, is contemporary (2025).
