Framed Child On Beach Print By Clifford Appraisal

Framed 'Child on Beach' Print by Clifford

This item is a framed decorative print, likely a reproduction, depicting a child seated on a sandy hill, gazing out at the ocean. The print is housed within a wooden frame measuring approximately 15 inches by 12 inches with a depth of 1 1/2 inches. The frame has a warm brown, possibly walnut or oak, finish and exhibits signs of wear, including scuffs, scratches, and a loss of finish, particularly noticeable along the upper and right edges. The print itself is matted, featuring a deep teal or blue-green outer mat, and an inner octagonal mat in a darker, reddish-brown hue, creating a double-mat effect that frames the central image. The artwork within the mats is a serene scene rendered with soft colors, primarily blues, greens, and sandy browns. The child, depicted from behind, has light brown or blonde hair and is wearing a white shirt and blue shorts. To the child's right, a pair of blue shoes or sandals are placed on the sand. Tall blades of beach grass flank the child, adding depth to the foreground. The ocean displays gentle waves under a slightly cloudy sky. The artist's last name, 'Clifford,' is visible in the lower right corner of the print, suggesting it is a signed piece or a reproduction of a signed piece. The style appears to be contemporary or late 20th century. The visible condition issues are primarily on the frame, indicating general age and handling wear. The print itself appears to be in good condition behind the protective glazing (presumably glass or acrylic, though not explicitly stated), with no visible tears, fading, or water damage.
