Framed Art Print Auberge De Savoie By Viktor Schvaiko Appraisal

Framed Art Print 'Auberge de Savoie' by Viktor Schvaiko

The item is a framed art print depicting a vibrant street scene of a French-style cafe or restaurant. The print is housed within a substantial gold-colored wooden frame with a slightly ornate, possibly gilded, finish. The frame itself appears to be in good condition with no obvious dents or scratches, featuring a classic stepped profile. The print is protected by a clear pane of glass, which shows reflections from the external environment, indicating it is likely standard picture glass. Inside the frame, there is a dark green mat board that surrounds the central image, providing a border that enhances the composition. The artwork itself is a colorful and detailed illustration or painting, likely by Viktor Schvaiko given the context, depicting the exterior of an establishment named 'CREPERIE RESTAURANT Auberge de Savoie'. The scene is rendered in warm tones, with dominant colors being oranges, browns, and yellows for the building facade and outdoor furniture. Two striped awnings, in yellow and white, are visible over windows. There's an outdoor dining table set with a yellow tablecloth, two chairs (one on each side of the table), and what appears to be a bottle and glasses on the table. Green foliage and flowers are depicted growing around the building's exterior, adding to the picturesque ambiance. The ground is paved with cobblestones, and a street lamp illuminates the scene, suggesting an evening setting. The overall piece measures approximately 23.5 inches by 31 inches, including the frame and mat. The print exhibits good color saturation and detail. No obvious damage to the print itself is visible through the glass, though detailed inspection would require removal from the frame. The style suggests a contemporary decorative art piece, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the frame is commercial grade, typical of mass-produced framed art.
