Framed Cinderella Castle Art Print with 'Partners' Statue

This item is a framed art print depicting Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World. The print itself showcases the iconic castle in a vibrant scene, with a bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds above. Notably, two small, winged figures, likely representing Tinker Bell, are visible flying in the upper left quadrant, leaving a trail of pixie dust. At the base of the castle, in the foreground, is the 'Partners' statue featuring Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, surrounded by a landscaped floral arrangement and green grass, with a road leading up to the castle. The color palette is dominated by various shades of blue for the castle spires and roofs, with lighter grays for the stone walls, creating a majestic and fantastical atmosphere. The print is housed within a black, possibly wooden or composite, picture frame with a clean, simple profile. Inside the frame, a wide white mat board provides a border, drawing attention to the artwork. A narrower inner blue mat is visible just around the print's edge, complementing the blue tones within the image. The print appears to be under glass or acrylic, reflecting some light but generally preserving the image. Visible signatures or text include 'Cinderella Castle' in the bottom left, and what appears to be 'Loyd Sutton' or 'Lloy Sutton' as the artist's signature below the castle. Another inscription, partially visible, reads 'Love and Prince Olav, May 2005' or similar, suggesting a possible personalized dedication or date. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major damage to the frame or print, though minor surface dust or very subtle wear on the frame might be present. The craftsmanship of the matting looks professional, indicating a well-presented piece of art.
