Bernard Haven Print Appraisal

Haven by Bernard (Limited Edition Print 1/50)

This is a framed art print, titled "Haven" by Bernard. The print depicts a bustling harbor scene with various ships and industrial structures. The primary colors used are earthy tones, predominantly reds/oranges and browns, with paler backgrounds suggesting sky and water. The visible part of the print itself appears to utilize a line-based technique, possibly etching or lithography, given the fine cross-hatching and visible texture. It is numbered 1/50, indicating it is the first print in a limited edition run of 50. The print is housed under glass within a multi-layered frame. The innermost layer is a dark reddish-brown wood or wood-look frame, followed by a lighter, possibly off-white or cream-colored matboard that provides significant spacing around the artwork. The outermost frame is a thin, metallic silver-toned frame, likely aluminum or a similar metal, typical of contemporary framing. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of damage to the artwork or the framing components, though reflections on the glass obscure some minor details. The style suggests a mid to late 20th-century aesthetic, possibly leaning towards modern maritime or industrial art. The craftsmanship of the print itself, evident in the detailed lines and composition, indicates a professional artistic endeavor, while the framing appears to be of standard quality for presenting graphic art.
