Itzchak Tarkay Serigraph/Lithograph titled "Andrea"

This item is a framed fine art print, likely a serigraph or lithograph, titled "Andrea" by the artist Itzchak Tarkay. The print depicts a reclining female figure with a distinct artistic style characterized by bold outlines and a watercolor-like application of color. The figure is shown seated on what appears to be a plush, red-hued armchair, with abstract floral or foliage elements in green, blue, pink, and purple providing a decorative backdrop to her right. The figure's skin tone is rendered in a soft, light peach, contrasting with her dark, curly hair and red lips. She is mostly nude, draped partially in a flowing blue fabric over her legs and a purple fabric over her left shoulder and arm. The overall color palette is vibrant yet softened by the translucent quality of the colors, suggesting a printmaking technique that allows for subtle color blending. The artwork is presented under glass, within a white mat, and enclosed in an ornate gold-colored wooden frame with decorative moulding. The print appears to be in good condition, with no overt signs of damage or fading visible through the glass. The presence of a signature and a limited edition number (87/350) suggests it is a high-quality artist's proof or a numbered edition print. The date '2007' is also visible, indicating its age.
