Framed Floral Botanical Print By Bonnie Minard Appraisal

Framed Floral Botanical Print by Bonnie Minard

This item is a framed botanical print featuring a vibrant arrangement of flowers, signed by 'Bonnie Minard'. The primary floral elements include light blue irises, pink tulips, white five-petal flowers (possibly wild roses or similar), and yellow flowers with small green leaves. The artistic style is a realistic watercolor or print, demonstrating fine detail in the petals, leaves, and overall composition. The print is housed within a double matting arrangement; an inner smaller mat in a soft pink hue directly borders the artwork, and an outer wider mat in a light cream or off-white color provides separation from the frame. The frame itself is a classical style, appearing to be wood or a composite material finished with a gold-tone, featuring a reeded or fluted pattern along its inner edge and a smooth outer profile. The overall dimensions appear to be approximately 16-20 inches square, though exact measurements are not discernible. Visible condition issues include potential discoloration or foxing on the outer cream matting, particularly in the upper right quadrant, suggesting age or exposure to moisture/light. There are also a couple of small, darker spots on the matting in the upper right. The frame exhibits some wear consistent with handling and age, though no major damage is apparent from the provided images. The print itself appears to be in good condition, with colors remaining vivid. The craftsmanship of the framing and matting seems professional, indicating a ready-to-hang piece of decorative art. The style suggests it could be from the late 20th century, likely 1980s or 1990s, given the popular aesthetic of botanical prints and gilded frames during that period.
