Kuck Artist Proof Appraisal

Artist Proof Print 'Clowns' by Sandra Kuck

This is a framed limited edition art print depicting a poignant scene between two figures in clown makeup. The primary figure is a woman with intricate white face paint, outlined in red, and large red hearts under her eyes from which tears are falling. Her eyes, depicted in shades of blue and grey, are cast upwards with a look of sorrow or longing. She also has red lipstick and defined eyebrows. The second figure, seen partially from the left, appears to be a man with a red clown nose and darker, more weathered face paint. His hand gently cups the woman's chin. The print is executed in rich colors, with a dark background that emphasizes the figures. Below the image, there are handwritten markings. On the left, 'AP' is written, followed by a number that appears to be '25/45', potentially indicating an Artist Proof from a limited edition of 45. On the right, there is a legible signature that reads 'Sandra Kuck'. The print is professionally matted with a wide, textured brown mat and framed in a dark, possibly wooden frame with a distinct wood grain pattern. The frame appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible damage. The protective covering over the print, likely glass or acrylic, is clean and shows no significant reflections in the provided image. The overall presentation suggests a well-cared-for piece of art.
