Artist Style Print Appraisal

Marc Chagall Style Lithograph or Print - Whimsical Composition with Figures and Animals

This item is a framed print or lithograph, strongly reminiscent of the artistic style of Marc Chagall, featuring a whimsical and dreamlike composition. The piece is housed within a white mat and a decorative, possibly wooden, frame with a gilded inner edge and an outer reddish-brown border. The print itself depicts a vibrant and complex scene with multiple figures and animals scattered across the canvas. Key elements include a large, stylized sun in the upper left with yellow and orange coloration, two figures in light blue attire in the lower left, and a large, prominent female or angelic head in the upper right with green coloration on portions of its face. A horse with green highlights is depicted running in the mid-ground, while a red-feathered bird stands to the left of two reclining nude figures in the lower central part of the image. A figure in striped clothing stands near the center-top. The background suggests a stylized cityscape or village in parts, rendered with light blue and black strokes. The color palette is vibrant yet not overly saturated, utilizing reds, greens, blues, yellows, oranges, and black outlines against a predominantly white or light background. The lines are fluid and expressive, characteristic of modern art. The printing method appears to be a lithograph or high-quality print due to the distinct color areas and fine lines. No visible artist's signature or edition number is discernable in the provided image. The overall condition of the print appears good, with no obvious signs of creasing, tears, or significant discoloration, though photographic reflections on the glass obscure some details. The frame shows some minor wear consistent with age, particularly on the gilded inner edge. The style points to a 20th-century aesthetic, likely mid-to-late 20th century, given the clear influences of Fauvism and Surrealism as interpreted by Chagall.
