- Printed poster (canvas material): The poster print is a printed flat canvas paper with a slightly roughened finish on the surface. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the print, which facilitates the framing.
- Acrylic glass print: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes described as a print on plexiglass, transforms the original work of art into great wall decoration. The artwork is being custom-made thanks to modern UV printing machines. This makes intense and sharp color shades. With a glossy acrylic glass art print contrasts as well as minor image details become more visible due to the fine gradation in the print.

In this symbiotic representation of the bather and the marine element, the windings of the wave whose foam shell naked woman meet the undulations of the hair.
The chronology of paintings by Maillol before 1900 remains difficult. For the architectural relationship of the body to space, the clarity of contours and fullness of form, "The Wave" heralds the great sculptures of female nudes which Maillol will spend the first years of the twentieth century.
