Flower Vendor Art Appraisal

Street Scene with Flower Vendors Framed Print

The item is a framed art print depicting a late 19th or early 20th-century street scene, likely a Parisian setting, given the presence of lampposts and figures in period attire. The print features a detailed illustration with a predominantly muted blue and purple color palette, with accents of pink, green, and brown. Several figures are visible: on the left, a woman stands under a large, light-colored umbrella, appearing to be a flower vendor surrounded by potted plants and cut flowers. Further right, a man pushes a wheelbarrow filled with flowers, and another woman in an elaborate hat and dress stands near a lamppost, with her reflection visible on the wet ground, suggesting recent rain. The composition implies a bustling yet serene street market or promenade. The print itself exhibits some minor creases or imperfections in the upper right corner, possibly from handling or age. It is housed within a light-colored, possibly off-white or beige, frame with a slightly textured or patterned surface that appears to be made of wood or a composite material. The frame has a subtle gold or brass-colored inner lip or filet. Visible condition issues include some general wear on the frame, consistent with age, and a slight misalignment or readiness in the top right corner where the frame miter joins. The matte board surrounding the print is a light, neutral color, possibly cream or pale lavender, complementing the print's colors. There are no obvious manufacturing marks or artist signatures discernible from the provided image. The overall style is reminiscent of Impressionistic or Belle Époque art, though as a print, it is a reproduction. The quality and craftsmanship appear to be of a standard commercial art print, suitable for decorative purposes.
