Framed Art Print: Chocolate Labrador Puppy with Shoe

This item is a framed art print depicting a chocolate Labrador retriever puppy in a whimsical and endearing pose. The puppy, with its rich dark brown fur, is captured in the act of 'playing' with a white athletic shoe, specifically gnawing on its laces. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly in a garden or courtyard, indicated by the presence of green foliage, presumably ivy, and weathered stone or brickwork. The color palette of the print includes earthy tones of brown, green, and hints of a reddish hue in the background, contrasting with the bright white of the shoe. The print is presented within a light-colored matting, possibly cream or very light beige, which provides a clean border around the artwork. This matting is enclosed by a wooden frame with a warm, medium-brown finish and a visibly ornate, carved or molded profile. The frame exhibits a traditional and somewhat classic style, suggesting it could be from the latter half of the 20th century or early 21st century. No visible damage or significant wear is apparent on the print itself, though the lighting in the image makes it difficult to assess for dust or minor imperfections on the frame's surface. The subject matter is popular and appeals to pet lovers, often indicating mass-produced decorative art designed for home decor. The quality of the print appears good, with clear details and vibrant colors typical of contemporary art reproductions.
