Framed Art Deco Style Print depicting a Lady with a Greyhound

This item is a framed art print, likely a serigraph or lithograph, featuring a stylized image reminiscent of the Art Deco period. The central subject is a tall, slender female figure dressed in an elegant, form-fitting black gown with a flowing train. She is wearing a distinctive, fan-shaped headdress with intricate detailing and has a very refined facial expression with dark, pronounced eyes. Her left arm is adorned with a large, textured wrap or stole, suggesting fur or a heavy fabric, which extends into decorative swirls. She holds a leash in her right hand, which is attached to a sleek, dark grey or black greyhound standing beside her. The dog wears a distinct collar. The overall color palette of the print is subdued, primarily featuring black, white, and various shades of gray against a cream or light beige background. The print is housed under glass in a dark, possibly black, high-gloss lacquered or enameled wooden frame with a sleek, minimalist profile, characteristic of contemporary framing. Inside the main frame, there is a double matting system: an inner thin blue line, followed by a wider dark blue or black mat, and then a cream-colored border leading to the artwork itself. Visible reflections on the glass indicate it is a glazed frame. There appear to be some markings in the lower left corner, possibly a limited edition number or artist's signature (though not clearly legible), and a potential signature or mark in the lower right corner of the print itself. The condition appears to be good, with no overt signs of damage or wear visible on the print or matting, though reflections on the glass make a full assessment difficult. The frame itself shows some minor handling wear, particularly visible as light scuffs or dust on the glossy surface in the upper right corner and along the bottom edge. The style strongly points to an Art Deco revival piece, or an original print from the Art Deco era (circa 1920s-1930s). The craftsmanship of the print appears high, with crisp lines and consistent color application, suggesting a professional production.
