Art Deco Style Print Appraisal

Framed Marc Chagall Style Art Print

The item is a framed art print, likely a reproduction, featuring a colorful and abstract composition. The art piece itself appears to be a smaller print, approximately 8-10 inches in height, with a dominant color palette of green, purple, blue, and black, accented with white, yellow, and red. The imagery depicts a fantastical scene with abstract figures and organic shapes; a prominent feature is a large green shape on the left that resembles a distorted face or profile, and a tree-like structure with blue foliage on the right next to a small, red-orange human-like figure. The style is reminiscent of modernist or surrealist art, commonly associated with artists like Marc Chagall, whose name appears on a small plaque at the bottom of the frame. The print is housed within a substantial, ornate gilded gold frame. The frame has intricate carvings, possibly gesso over wood, with a distressed or antique finish, showing some minor wear consistent with age, such as slight chipping or rubbing on the raised areas. The print is matted with a dark, possibly black or dark grey, mat board, which creates a significant border around the art, suggesting the print itself is relatively small compared to the overall framed dimensions. The entire piece is under glass, which exhibits reflections from the surrounding room, obscuring some details but providing visual confirmation of the protective glazing. The overall craftsmanship of the frame is indicative of a decorative piece, likely intended for display in a living or dining area. The condition appears good overall, with no obvious major damage to the print itself or significant disrepair to the frame, beyond minor aesthetic wear expected from an older decorative item.
