Albert Wilson Art Appraisal

Framed African Elephant Procession Print by Albert Wilson

This is a large-format, vertical monochrome print featuring a realistic depiction of African elephants by artist Albert Wilson. The artwork showcases a line of elephants of varying sizes and ages, suggesting a family herd or parade, rendered with meticulous detail to capture the texture of the pachyderms' wrinkled hide and the ivory of their tusks. The style is classic wildlife realism, executed in a monochromatic palette that mimics charcoal or graphite pencil work. The art is professionally mounted with a wide, mauve-tinted mat that provides a neutral border, which is then housed in a substantial, dark wooden or composite frame. The frame features traditional molded details and a beaded inner border. Based on its construction and the artist's active period, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 2000s. The condition appears fair to good; while the glass and art seem well-protected, there is some visible dust and a price sticker on the top left of the glass indicating it is in a retail or thrift environment. The frame shows minor surface wear consistent with handling but remains structurally sound. The level of detail in the anatomy and shading suggests a high-quality lithographic or offset print of an original graphite drawing, targeted toward wildlife enthusiasts and collectors of African-themed decorative art.
