Spectacular large-format print of the virtuoso pianist and composer

With his eternally melancholic gaze turned toward the horizon, Rachmaninov exudes a strong charisma that can be seen in many of his portraits. The high-contrast rendering, combined with a very slight low-angle perspective, gives this portrait of the composer a uniquely powerful emotional intensity.
