Contemporary Line Art Appraisal

The Man in the Yellow Shirt (Line Drawing Art Print)

This item is a framed art print or possibly an original drawing, depicting a simple line art illustration of a button-down shirt. The shirt is rendered in dark lines against a light background, likely white or off-white paper. Notably, there is a small, whimsical, cartoon-like figure, possibly an animal or an abstract creature, peeking out from the left breast pocket of the shirt. The shirt itself has a collar, long sleeves with cuffs, a series of buttons down the front, and appears to be schematically represented, emphasizing form over detailed texture. The artwork is housed in a thin, rectangular, metallic-hued frame, likely brass or gold-anodized aluminum, indicative of a classic or contemporary framing style. Below the drawing, approximately centered, is text that reads "The man in the yellow shirt," which is likely the title of the piece. To the lower left, there appears to be a numerical indication, possibly an edition number like "3/99" or a similar marking, suggesting this might be a limited edition print. To the lower right, a signature, 'Jaimes' or a similar script, is visible. The piece exhibits good overall condition, with no immediately apparent damage such as tears, significant creases, or discoloration to the artwork itself. The frame shows minor signs of wear consistent with age, primarily light scuffs or dust, but retains its structural integrity. The reflective surface of the protective glass causes some glare in the photograph, but the artwork beneath appears well-preserved. The style is minimalist, possibly reflecting an mid-20th to early 21st-century aesthetic, focusing on clean lines and a playful, understated narrative.
