This fine art photograph is an authentic Studio/Archive Proof (S/P) by Marc Lagrange. Studio Proofs are impressions created outside the numbered edition and retained by the artist or printer for archival, reference, or studio purposes.

Produced from the same plate, negative, or digital file as the editioned prints, S/Ps match the quality of the official edition but are not numbered and were not originally intended for general sale. Because only a few are retained, Studio Proofs are rare and highly collectible, offering a unique insight into the artist’s working process and the production history of the edition.
