Il Bacio Framed Art Print by Kim Anderson

This item is a commercially produced art print titled 'il bacio' (The Kiss) featuring the photography of Kim Anderson. The image depicts a characteristic scene for this artist, showing three young children in vintage-style clothing seated on steps; the boy in the middle is kissing the girl on the left while the girl on the right looks on with an amused expression. The photograph is rendered in black and white with subtle hand-colored pastel accents, a signature style of Anderson's work which gained peak popularity in the 1990s. The print is housed behind glass in a thin, contemporary gold-toned metal frame with white matting. Below the image, the title 'il bacio' is printed in a serif typeface, followed by a smaller attribution line referencing Kim Anderson and the Verkerke Copyright. The construction is typical of mass-market decor, designed for retail through home goods and frame shops. Physically, the item appears to be in fair to good condition, although horizontal reflections of overhead fluorescent lights on the glass make it difficult to assess the surface of the print for fading. The frame is simple and functional, showing minimal visible wear at the corners, and the matting provides a clean, professional border that emphasizes the nostalgic, sentimental subject matter of the photography.
