Joann Korley Print Appraisal

Southwestern Portrait Print by Joann Korley

This item is a framed decorative art print depicting a stylized portrait of an Indigenous American woman, created by the artist Joann Korley (active late 20th century). The piece features a central female figure with long, dark, wind-swept hair, adorned with a white feather and a beaded headband. She wears multiple strands of turquoise-colored beads and a golden disc earring with blue accents. Her garment is a light-colored, draped blouse with colorful striped detailing on the shoulder. The background is rendered in a soft, Impressionistic style with muted earth tones and splatters of purple and tan. The artist's signature 'Joann Korley' and a copyright symbol are visible in the lower right corner. The artwork is housed in a simple, dark-stained wooden frame with a visible grain. The condition appears fair to good for a secondary market item; however, there are notable vertical light reflections and glares on the surface, suggesting it is protected by glass. A yellow price sticker from 'Savers' is adhered to the top right corner of the glass or frame, indicating it is currently in a thrift retail environment. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of pastel-toned Southwestern decor popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
