Map Textured Dove Print Appraisal

Framed Art Print of a Map-Textured Dove

This item is a framed art print featuring a stylized depiction of a dove in flight. The bird, rendered in white or off-white tones, appears to be composed of intricate map-like patterns and script, giving it a unique textured appearance as if made from vintage paper or cartographic elements. The dove is positioned against a dark, possibly navy-blue, background, which provides a strong contrast and makes the white bird stand out. The lighting in the image suggests that the background might be reflective, as evidenced by the clear reflection of a person holding a phone taking the picture, as well as reflections of interior architectural features like windows with Venetian blinds and arched doorways. The print is housed in a contemporary black wooden or composite frame, approximately 1-2 inches wide, with a clean, flat profile. Inside the frame, a white mat board provides a border, separating the artwork from the frame and enhancing its presentation. The overall dimensions appear to be significant, suggesting a medium to large-sized wall art piece. There are no visible signs of damage to the frame or mat. The presence of reflections on the glass indicates the artwork is covered with glazing, likely standard glass or acrylic. In the lower right corner of the print, a visible signature, possibly 'Mike Tristin' or similar, suggests an artist's mark, indicating this is not a mass-produced, unsigned piece. The style appears contemporary, possibly dating from the late 20th or early 21st century, combining natural themes with graphic design elements. The craftsmanship of the framing seems professional, contributing to the overall display quality of the artwork.
