Carmel Mission San Carlos Borromeo Print by Mark Montserrat

This item is a framed and matted art print depicting the Carmel Mission San Carlos Borromeo. The artwork itself appears to be a watercolor or watercolor-style reproduction, characterized by soft, blended colors and a somewhat impressionistic rendering of the mission's architecture and surrounding landscape. The mission building features prominent domes and cross-topped spires, painted primarily in yellow and ochre tones with green domes, set against a dynamic sky with hues of orange, pink, and grey. Lush green trees frame the structure on both sides, with a building or structure visible to the left foreground. The print is housed within a white mat board, which provides a clean border, and then further enclosed in a simple, likely metallic or dark wood, frame that is partially visible at the top. Below the image, handwritten text identifies the subject as "Carmel Mission San Carlos Borromeo" and includes a signature "Mark Montserrat", indicating the artist. There's also what appears to be a limited edition number, possibly "/50", though it's partially obscured. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, fading, or wear to the print or mat. The framing itself suggests a conventional presentation for a decorative art piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given the printing style and observed presentation.
