Native American Elder And Wolf Waterfall Art Print Appraisal

Native American Elder and Wolf Waterfall Art Print

The item is a framed art print depicting a spiritual or symbolic scene. The central element of the artwork features the face of what appears to be a Native American elder or chief, subtly integrated into a cascading waterfall. Below and to the left of the elder's face, a wolf is depicted in a reclining or resting pose on what seems to be a rocky outcrop, with its reflection visible in the water below. The color palette of the print leans towards natural tones, with blues and whites for the water, earthy browns for the rocks, and muted tones for the figures. The print is housed under glass and framed in a dark brown, possibly wooden, frame with a simple, contoured profile. The frame appears to be in good condition with no significant visible damage or wear. Inside the frame, surrounding the print, is a layered matting system. The innermost mat is a thin red line, followed by a dark grey or black border, and then a wider, lighter grey mat. This lighter grey mat features decorative geometric accents in the corners, resembling stylized 'L' shapes or corner brackets, which are dark grey or black. The glass covering the print shows significant reflective glare from an external light source, obscuring parts of the artwork, particularly the lower right quadrant. This glare makes it difficult to ascertain minute details or any potential damage to the print itself. The overall impression is of a mass-produced decorative art piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its style and framing choices. There are no visible artist's signatures or maker's marks discernible from the image that would indicate unique craftsmanship beyond standard framing practices.
