Clifford Nielsen Print 13/100 (Man with Dogs)

This item is a framed art print by Clifford Nielsen, specifically numbered 13 out of an edition of 100. The print depicts a figure, appearing to be an indigenous man, standing centrally with several animals, likely dogs, gathered around his feet. The artwork is rendered in a monochromatic style, primarily black and white, suggesting it could be a linocut, woodcut, or a detailed ink drawing reproduction. The visible brushstrokes or linework indicate a graphic, illustratived aesthetic. The print is housed within a sturdy, possibly wooden, frame with a rustic or natural finish, exhibiting a visible grain in muted brown and gray tones. The frame features a multi-tiered profile, adding depth and dimension. It is matted with a clean white or off-white mat board, providing a stark contrast that enhances the dark tones of the print. The print itself appears to be in good condition, with no visible tears, creases, or major discoloration. There are no obvious signs of wear or damage to the frame or mat. The presence of a red sticker on the upper right side of the glass or frame suggests it may be a price tag or an auction lot marker. A ruler is visible in the background, implying the piece is approximately 18-20 inches in height based on the '175 KELLY' marking at its apparent 18-inch point, indicating a medium-sized artwork. The overall presentation is clean and professional, indicative of good craftsmanship in its framing.
