Arabian Horse Print Appraisal

Arabian Horse Limited Edition Print by Charles Buckendorf

This item is a limited edition art print, specifically a lithograph, depicting an Arabian horse in profile, walking across a grassy foreground. The print is rendered in monochrome, likely black ink or graphite on off-white or cream-colored paper. The dimensions are not provided but it appears to be of a medium size, suitable for framing. The horse is finely detailed, showcasing its distinctive head profile, muscular build, and a flowing tail. The artist has used careful shading and line work to create texture, particularly notable in the dappled pattern on the horse's coat and the individual strands of its mane and tail. The foreground is lightly sketched to indicate grass. Visible markings include '238/300 Arabian.' inscribed in the lower left corner, indicating it is the 238th print out of a total edition of 300, and confirming the subject matter. The artist's signature, "Charles Buckendorf," is present in the lower right corner. The print shows some signs of age, with slight discoloration or foxing consistent with older paper, and there might be some minor handling marks or dust, though its overall condition appears good for its age. The edges of the paper, particularly the top and left, show slight browning or wear that suggests it might have been previously framed or stored. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed portrayal and the clarity of the lines, indicative of a quality lithographic process from the latter half of the 20th century or early 21st century given the printing methods and style.
