David Wenzel Framed Print Appraisal

Framed Print: 'Double Trouble' by David Wenzel

This item is a framed art print titled 'Double Trouble' by artist David Wenzel, depicting two white tiger cubs. The print is housed within a brown wooden frame, which appears to be constructed from a stained hardwood, exhibiting a simple, classic profile. The frame has visible grain and a slightly uneven finish in some areas, suggesting it might be mass-produced. Surrounding the print is a double matting system; an inner narrow silver or metallic-colored mat, and a wider outer off-white or cream-colored mat. This double matting adds depth and separation between the artwork and the frame. The artwork itself is a black-and-white or grayscale print with subtle hints of greens and grays in the background, depicting a natural, possibly jungle or forest, setting. The two white tiger cubs are the central focus. One cub is lounging on a raised rocky surface, looking directly out of the frame with curious eyes. The other cub stands behind it, looking to the right of the frame, showcasing its striped fur and playful posture. The artist's signature 'David Wenzel' is visible in the lower left corner, along with the title 'Double Trouble' and what appears to be a limited edition number or print information which is partially obscured but seems to read 'AP Edition' followed by a number like '43/75'. The print is under glass, which shows some reflections, indicating it is covered for protection. There are no obvious signs of severe damage to the print itself, though the glass and frame may have minor surface wear consistent with age and handling. The overall condition appears good, with no overt scratches or discoloration on the print observable through the glare. The style is realistic wildlife art, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given the digital reproduction quality.
