Girl With Cat Appraisal

Framed Art Print: 'Girl with White Cat'

This item is a framed art print depicting a young woman or girl holding a white cat. The print is housed within a dark wooden frame with a slightly distressed or aged finish. The frame features a classic profile, likely a C-channel or similar, and appears to be made of solid wood or a wood composite. Inside the frame, a double matting system is visible. The outer mat is a light, possibly cream or beige color, with a subtle textured appearance, while the inner mat is a thinner, rust or burnt orange color that provides a warm border directly against the artwork. The artwork itself shows a figure in profile, looking off to the left with a pensive expression. She appears to be wearing a dark garment or hood that frames her face. Cradled in her arms is a fluffy white cat with light-colored eyes and possibly some faint orange or cream markings on its ears or face. The background is dark and indistinct, with a soft, warm light source (possibly a lamp or sconce) visible behind the figure's head, creating a subtle highlight. Reflections on the protective glazing indicate it is likely glass, reflecting ambient room lights and potentially a screen with blue light on the left side of the image. The print appears to be in good condition, with no immediately visible tears, creases, or significant discoloration. The frame also seems largely intact, though age-appropriate wear might be present on closer inspection. The style suggests a contemporary or modern realist approach, potentially dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The use of a double mat and substantial frame indicates a certain level of presentation, aiming for a finished, professional look.
