Framed Print of 'The Singing Butler' by Jack Vettriano

This item is a framed contemporary print of the iconic 1992 painting 'The Singing Butler' by Scottish artist Jack Vettriano. The image depicts a ballroom-dancing couple on a damp, grey beach, flanked by a maid and a chauffeur who hold umbrellas against a brewing storm. The color palette is dominated by muted purples, greys, and ochres in the sky and sand, contrasted with the stark black and white of the formal evening wear. The print is presented in a square format with a narrow white border integrated into the image field. It is housed in a deep, black-finished wooden or composite frame with a wide, dark brown mat. The glazing appears to be standard glass, reflecting a prominent overhead light source in the center of the image. The overall construction suggests a high-quality decorative reproduction rather than a limited edition lithograph, as no visible pencil signature or numbering is present in the lower margins. The condition appears fair to good, though there is a noticeable reflection on the glass and some slight bowing visible in the paper mounting. The style is quintessentially 20th-century figurative realism with a romantic, cinematic flair.
