Framed Lighthouse Seascape Print Signed W Shore Appraisal

Framed Lighthouse Seascape Print, Signed 'W. Shore'

This item is a framed art print depicting a seascape scene with a lighthouse. The print is presented in a vertical, rectangular format, set within a white mat, and enclosed in a simple black frame. The artwork itself captures a dramatic coastal scene, likely at dawn or dusk, with a lighthouse prominently featured on a cliff face. The lighthouse emits a strong, directional beam of light across the water, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The color palette is dominated by cool tones of blue, turquoise, and purples, suggesting a serene yet powerful ocean environment. The sky transitions from a lighter hue at the top to darker, hazier tones closer to the horizon, where some small, dark bird-like shapes are visible in flight. The water in the foreground shows subtle waves with white caps, indicating motion. The artist's signature, 'W. Shore', is visible in the lower right portion of the print, along with what appears to be a copyright symbol. Another signature or inscription is present in the lower left corner, though it is less legible. The print's appearance suggests it is a lithograph or giclée print, rather than an original painting, due to its somewhat uniform texture and commercially produced look. The white mat has some minor imperfections, such as small specks or dust, and slight undulations that may indicate age or humidity exposure. The black frame is a basic, possibly wood or composite material, with a smooth finish and a flat profile. The frame shows some minor wear consistent with handling, but no significant damage. The overall aesthetic is decorative, fitting for a home or office setting, and appears to be from the late 20th or early 21st century.
