Pintali Artwork Appraisal

Byrd Dooley "Pintali" Print

This item is a commercially produced art print titled "Pintali" by artist Byrd Dooley. The print depicts a captivating scene of five pinto-patterned horses, predominantly white with distinctive brown patches, standing amidst a snowy, rocky landscape. The ground is characterized by large, irregular patches of reddish-brown rock formations interspersed with snow, creating a stark contrast that highlights the horses. The horses themselves are rendered with realistic detail, particularly their coat patterns and stances. The artwork style appears to be realistic or photorealistic, focusing on natural elements and animal life. The primary colors are browns, whites, and varying shades of off-white for the snow, with some subtle grays and blues likely present for shadows and atmospheric effect, though not clearly discernible from the provided image. The visible part of the print is rectangular. At the bottom left of the image, a visible signature or inscription reads "Byrd Dooley  1978," indicating the artist and the year of creation. The print appears to be on a heavy paper or cardstock, consistent with art prints. There are clean, white margins around the image itself, suggesting it might be an unframed print or designed to be matted. The bottom margin also reveals a portion of what looks like 'THE GREENWICH...' text, possibly indicating a gallery, publisher, or distributor. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major creases, tears, or discoloration visible in the main image area. However, the corner/edge of the paper at the very bottom shows a slight curl or bend, which might suggest minor handling wear. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical of fine art prints, with clear resolution and color reproduction.
