Mallard Duck Art Print Appraisal

Washington Park Mallard Duck Print

This item is a framed art print featuring a stylized depiction of a mallard duck. The print itself showcases a minimalist, almost geometric representation of a duck floating on water, primarily in shades of brown for the body, a dark green head, and a reddish-brown chest. The duck also features white, black, and a distinctive purple stripe on its wing, and a yellow beak. Below the duck, reflections are suggested through a series of light gray, parallel horizontal lines that fade downwards. The top of the print clearly displays the text "WASHINGTON PARK" in a simple, sans-serif font. The print is contained within a visual border of dark red. The entire piece is housed in a simple, thin black frame, likely made of wood or a composite material. The print appears to be under glass or a clear acrylic sheet. The overall condition, as indicated by the user's input, is 'bad condition.' Visible condition issues include potential water damage or significant discoloration along the bottom edge of the print and its white matting, which appears yellowed and stained. There are also visible reflections on the protective covering, suggesting possible surface imperfections or glare from the environment. The minimalist style suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic, possibly from the 1980s or 1990s. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, typical of mass-produced art prints rather than a fine art piece, although the graphic design itself is clean and precise.
