Framed Print Seated Woman With Pears Appraisal

Framed Print: Seated Woman with Pears

This item is a framed print depicting a seated female figure, presumably a woman, with several pears scattered around her. The artwork itself appears to be a mixed media print, combining elements of drawing (charcoal or pastel for outlines and shading) with subtle watercolor or muted color fills. The woman is rendered with dark hair styled back in a bun or knot, and she wears a light brown or ochre colored long-sleeved top and a flowing, light-colored skirt or draped fabric. Her pose suggests a moment of contemplation or rest, with one hand on her hip and the other slightly extended towards the pears. The pears themselves are depicted in shades of green, with some lighter highlights. The background is a soft, neutral tone, possibly light beige or off-white, suggesting an indoor or indistinct setting. The overall style suggests a modern or contemporary piece, possibly influenced by Southwestern or Native American art traditions, given the depiction of the figure. The print is housed within a multi-layered frame. There is an inner matting, which appears to be a light green, directly bordering the artwork, and an outer, wider matting of a dark brown or reddish-brown color. The outermost component is a wooden frame, light brown in color, with a simple, clean profile. The glass covering the print shows reflections from the surrounding environment, indicating it is likely standard picture frame glass. No visible condition issues like tears, significant fading, or damage to the print itself are discernible from the image, although reflections obscure some areas. The frame and matting also appear to be in good condition, with no obvious nicks or scratches. The craftsmanship of the matting and framing appears professional, enhancing the presentation of the print.
