The protagonist: Catherine Deneuve

Catherine Deneuve, born Catherine Fabienne Dorléac (Paris, October 22, 1943), is one of the greatest actresses in the history of world cinema and the most recognizable face of French cinema for the past sixty years. An absolute symbol of European elegance, she has worked with the greatest directors of the twentieth century — from Luis Buñuel to Roman Polanski, from François Truffaut to Jacques Demy — building a filmography of extraordinary depth and variety. Her most famous films include Belle de Jour (1967), The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967), Repulsion (1965), The Tulip Story (1970) and The Strawberry Picker (1992). Twice nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, she received a César for lifetime achievement in 1998 and was president of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Her face embodied Marianne, the official symbol of the French Republic. An autograph bearing the signature of an absolute icon of 20th-century European culture.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique historical and collectible document, where the signature of the protagonist was affixed directly to the print with documented provenance, without intermediaries. It clearly differs from printed reproductions or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the irregular and natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the support, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In cinematic collecting, an autographed photograph by an absolute icon like Catherine Deneuve — in a black and white portrait of great formal beauty — represents a piece of exceptional historical, aesthetic, and collectible value. The included MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and COA guarantee maximum protection for the collector.
