Framed Limited Edition 'The Market' Print by Patricia Trost

This item is a framed limited edition print depicting a picturesque street scene, likely titled 'The Market'. The artwork showcases a quaint street lined with trees and a classic red-brick building that appears to be a shop or marketplace. The setting evokes a sense of historical charm, possibly a European town or an older American city quarter. The color palette predominantly features natural tones, with rich greens for the foliage, warm reds and oranges for the brickwork, and varied browns and grays for the street and shadows. Sunlight appears to dappled through the trees, creating interesting light and shadow patterns on the ground. The print is housed under glass within a dark, possibly wooden, rectangular frame, which has a matte finish and simple, clean lines. There is a wide, light brown or tan mat board separating the print from the frame, enhancing the visual presentation and protecting the artwork. The bottom left corner of the print shows '477/950', indicating it is the 477th print out of a total edition of 950. The title 'The Market' is visible in the center bottom, and the artist's signature 'Patricia Trost' is present on the bottom right. The overall condition appears good, with no immediately discernible damage to the print itself, although reflections on the glass obscure some minor details. The frame shows minor wear consistent with age and handling. This item is an example of decorative art, indicative of a contemporary or late 20th-century style, intended for wall display.
