Limited Edition Collectible Appraisal

Autumn Landscape Limited Edition Print by Charles Sexton

This item is a limited edition print, specifically an offset lithograph, depicting a vibrant natural landscape. The scene features a body of water, possibly a stream or brook, in the foreground with varied tones of blue, green, and brown, indicating depth and reflections. The texture of the water suggests movement, with light catching on the surface. Along the banks, tall, golden-brown grasses are depicted with visible brushstrokes, suggesting an autumnal or late summer setting. Behind these grasses, a dense expanse of foliage with vivid reddish-orange and yellow leaves dominates the midground, indicating deciduous trees or bushes in their fall splendor. In the upper portion of the visible image, hints of darker, possibly tree trunks or deeper woods, can be seen, contributing to the overall naturalistic composition. The print is characterized by rich, saturated colors and a somewhat painterly quality, retaining the appearance of an original artwork. Visible in the lower right corner are identifying marks: a hand-written number '736/5700', which signifies it as the 736th print out of a total edition of 5700, indicating its status as a limited edition. Below this, there is a signature that appears to be 'Charles Sexton' followed by what seems to be a date '91' (1991). The print exhibits good color retention with no obvious fading from the exposed areas. The edges of the paper appear to be clean, and there are no visible creases, tears, or significant damage within the observable print area. The overall condition appears to be very good, suggesting it has been well-preserved, likely stored flat or within a protective sleeve. The craftsmanship is evident in the quality of the print reproduction, which successfully captures the detail and color of the original artwork. The presence of a hand-signed number and signature attests to its authenticity as a fine art print.
