About the Item

The First Cut by Robyn Stacey features a large watermelon sitting on a wooden table in this dramatically lit still-life. The handle of a silver knife protrudes out from a cut in the fruit. A chunk of watermelon sits next to the larger fruit below the knife. This graphic scene alludes to acts of aggression, yet the execution appears precise and thoughtful. This photograph is listed as framed, with the black frame measuring 48 x 64 x 1.5 inches. The size of the photograph is 47.25 x 62.75 inches. This photograph is a C-Print printed on Fujichrome Professional Paper and is AP #2. A signature label is included with this photograph.
