Lake District Farmhouse Limited Edition Art Print by Peter Ehtl Snyder

This item is a framed limited edition art print titled "Lake District Farmhouse" by Peter Ehtl Snyder. The print depicts a serene landscape scene featuring a cluster of traditional farmhouses nestled in a valley, with rolling hills and mountains in the background, characteristic of the Lake District in England. The color palette primarily consists of muted greens, grays, and browns, suggesting an atmospheric or perhaps overcast day, common in the region. The artistic style appears to be a form of landscape painting, possibly watercolor or a similar medium, given the soft edges and blended tones. In the foreground, a grassy field is visible with a few small, dark figures that resemble sheep or cattle, adding a sense of pastoral life. The print is housed within a simple, likely black or dark brown, frame with a light-colored mat board, typically made of paper or cardstock, creating a border around the artwork. The print is numbered "54/500" in the bottom left corner, indicating that it is the 54th print out of a total edition of 500. The artist's signature, "Peter Ehtl Snyder," is printed below the image along with the title, and there appears to be an additional handwritten signature by the artist in the bottom right corner, confirming its authenticity. The print is protected by a clear glazing, likely glass or acrylic, which shows reflections from the environment, indicating its presence. A price tag or similar sticker is visible in the upper right corner of the frame's glazing. While the overall condition appears good, the reflections on the glass make it difficult to assess any subtle damage to the print itself, such as fading or foxing. There are no obvious tears, creases, or major discolorations visible on the print or mat.
