Framed Limited Edition Golf Art Print: Jack Nicklaus by Daniel Smith

This item is a framed limited edition art print depicting a male golfer, identified as Jack Nicklaus, in mid-swing. The golfer, dressed in a white polo shirt and pink-hued trousers, occupies the foreground, holding a golf club with a white shaft. His expression is focused, and his body is captured in a dynamic pose. In the background, a blurred crowd of spectators can be seen, rendered in softer, desaturated tones, suggesting depth and focus on the golfer. The overall color palette is naturalistic, with greens and blues, and the distinct white and pink of the golfer's attire. The print is housed within a light-colored, possibly off-white, mat board and a golden-toned wooden frame, indicating that it is ready for display. A notable feature is the visible signature of 'Daniel Smith' and the printed name 'Jack Nicklaus' in the bottom right corner, as well as the edition number '179/950' in the bottom left, confirming its status as a limited edition. The print appears to be in good visible condition, though there are some reflections on the protective glazing that could obscure minor surface details. One visible vertical streak or mark is present on the left side, possibly on the glazing, which might affect the perception of the artwork's surface. The craftsmanship of the framing appears to be standard for art prints, with sharp corners and clean lines. Given the subject matter and the artist's signature, it likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality indicators include the clear imagery, the limited edition numbering, and the presence of both the artist's and the subject's name, suggesting a commercially produced art piece of commemorative or collectible nature.
