Framed Barbie Fashion Model Collection Art Print

This item is a framed art print featuring a fashion illustration of a Barbie doll, specifically from the 'Barbie Fashion Model Collection'. The illustration depicts a blonde Barbie doll, rendered in a stylized, elongated figure typical of fashion sketches. She is wearing an elaborate, multi-tiered black ruffled dress with thin straps, and what appear to be elbow-length gloves in a light, possibly pinkish or peach, hue. She holds a small, black clutch purse. The artwork itself is light in color, likely cream or off-white. The print is housed within a silver or pewter-toned frame with a subtle metallic sheen and a rounded profile. The frame appears to be made of wood or a composite material with a metallic finish, and the corners are mitered and tightly joined. The print is protected by a clear pane, presumably glass or acrylic. Below the illustration, the title 'Barbie Fashion Model Collection' is printed, suggesting this is part of a licensed series. To the right, there appears to be a signature, possibly 'Robert Best', who is known for his work on Barbie designs. The visible condition is good, with no obvious signs of damage to the frame, print, or protective covering. The overall aesthetic suggests a contemporary vintage or modern decorative piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, targeting collectors of Barbie memorabilia or fashion art enthusiasts. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced framed prints, with no outstanding or unique features beyond the subject matter itself.
