Leopard And Fawn Print Appraisal

Framed John Seerey-Lester Leopard and Fawn Print

This item is a framed limited edition print or lithograph, likely by renowned wildlife artist John Seerey-Lester. The artwork depicts a stylized and abstract representation of a leopard, with its head and upper body prominently featured, rendered in realistic detail against a more abstract background. The leopard's coat shows distinct spots and patterns, with some parts appearing faded or blended into the backdrop. A fawn is also visible towards the lower left, appearing somewhat integrated into the leopard's form or the surrounding abstract elements. The color palette includes blues, purples, grays, and natural tones for the animals, set against a lighter, possibly creamy or pale yellow background with geometric shapes, such as a large cross-like structure in the center-right. There are abstract brushstrokes and patterns throughout the composition, suggesting a contemporary or modern art style. The print is housed in a dark, possibly black or very dark blue mat with a thin reddish-brown inner border, which is then enclosed in a simple, thin gold-toned frame. The frame shows minor signs of wear consistent with age, and there appear to be reflections on the glass or acrylic cover, indicating it is glazed. Signatures and numbering are visible in the lower left and right corners. In the bottom left, 'Artist Proof' is partially discernible along with a signature, while the bottom right contains another signature and what appears to be '1980', indicating its estimated age. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious damage to the print itself, though the reflections make a definitive assessment challenging. The craftsmanship of the framing seems professional.
