Off and Running" Limited Edition Art Print

The item is a framed limited edition art print depicting a horse race scene, specifically the start of a race from inside the starting gate. The print captures a dynamic moment with multiple horses and jockeys poised to burst forward. The color palette is naturalistic, featuring various shades of brown for the horses, colorful silks for the jockeys in hues like orange, blue, and yellow, and a muted, earthy tone for the track and background elements of the starting gate. The print appears to be under glass within a wooden frame with a gold-tone inner rim and a light-colored mat board, possibly cream or light green, which is subtly visible. The construction of the frame suggests a traditional style. Notable features include visible signatures or annotations in the lower left and right corners. In the lower left, a signature is faintly discernible. In the lower right corner, a numerical inscription "465/750" indicates that this is the 465th print out of a total edition of 750, signifying its limited edition status. The title of the print, "Off and Running," is written in the bottom center. The overall condition appears good, though reflections on the glass obscure some details and prevent a full assessment of the print's surface condition. There are no obvious signs of significant damage to the print itself, although minor wear to the frame corners or edges is possible given its age. Based on the style and typical art print characteristics, it likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality of the print appears to be high, with good detail and color rendition, indicative of a quality art reproduction process.
