Autumn Vineyard Art Print by Jan S. Parcely (1969)

This item is a framed art print depicting an autumnal rural landscape. The scene features a large, gnarled tree with bare branches dominates the left foreground, its trunk textured and brown-toned. To the right of the tree, a rustic fence made of wooden posts and barbed wire stretches across the middle ground. Several small, dark bird figures are perched on the fence wires. Beyond the fence, a field of dry, light brown grass extends into the background, with the suggestion of more trees displaying fall foliage (oranges and browns) further in the distance. On the right side of the print, a multi-story stone or stucco building, likely a farmhouse or barn, with multiple windows and a prominent wooden door, is depicted. Part of a wagon wheel is visible in the far right. The color palette is dominated by warm earth tones: browns, ochres, muted greens, and rust oranges, creating a serene, end-of-season atmosphere. The print displays fine details in the bark of the tree, the texture of the grass, and the masonry of the building, suggesting a high-quality reproduction. In the bottom left corner, the title "AUTUMN VINEYARD" is visible, and in the bottom right corner, the artist's signature appears to read "JAN S. PARCELY, 1969." The print is housed within a dark brown, possibly wooden, frame with a slightly textured or patterned surface, and a visible inner border of what appears to be a beige, burlap-like material. The overall condition appears good with no obvious signs of significant damage, fading, or wear to the print or the frame.
