Bev Doolittle Lithograph Appraisal

'Whoo!' by Bev Doolittle Lithograph

This item is a framed fine art lithograph titled 'Whoo!' by the renowned camouflage artist Bev Doolittle. The artwork features a vertical composition depicting a Great Horned Owl perched upon a birch branch, surrounded by delicate green leaves. Below the owl sits a small nest. True to Doolittle's style, the piece utilizes intricate detail and a naturalistic color palette of earthy browns, whites, and vibrant greens. The print is housed in a professional framing treatment consisting of a multi-layered mat: a narrow inner gold-tone accent mat, followed by a wide forest green primary mat. Centered at the bottom of the green mat is a gold-tone identification plaque displaying the title and artist's name. The entire piece is enclosed in a classic oak wood frame with visible grain patterns and mitered corners. Doolittle's printed signature and the copyright date (appearing to be 1986) are visible in the lower right area of the artwork image. The condition appears fair to good, with some light scuffing on the wood frame and visible reflections on the glass. The paper and colors appear well-preserved without significant fading or foxing based on the visual inspection. The style is representative of late 20th-century American wildlife art, specifically the 'camouflage art' movement Doolittle helped popularize.
