Embroidered Greek Traditional Costume Art Print 15 Amalia Appraisal

Embroidered Greek Traditional Costume Art Print '15-AMALIA'

This item is an art print featuring a stylized illustration of a woman dressed in a traditional Greek costume, specifically labeled '15-AMALIA'. The image depicts a woman with dark hair, styled in a bob and wearing a red cap, accessorized with long black dangle earrings. Her attire consists of a vivid red overskirt and a blue pleated under-skirt, both adorned with intricate gold and yellow embroidery details. The dark blue sleeves are highlighted with wide cuffs featuring similar gold embellishments. A white blouse with delicate details around the neck is visible underneath a red and gold bodice. The background of the print showcases a classic Greek landscape, including what appears to be the Acropolis or another ancient temple complex in the distance, under a soft blue sky. The foreground features green foliage and white and yellow wildflowers. The print has a partially three-dimensional effect due to textile elements that appear to be embroidered or appliquéd onto the surface, creating texture and depth, particularly on the costume. A signature, 'Isabel,' is visible in the lower right corner, suggesting the artist. The entire piece is encased in what appears to be a clear plastic sleeve, which has some visible creasing and wear, mainly around the top and right edges, indicating it might have been stored or handled over time. The print itself appears to be in good condition, with vibrant colors and no apparent fading or damage to the artwork. The combination of print and textile elements suggests a mid-20th century aesthetic, possibly originating from Greece as a souvenir item.
