Serilithograph Art Appraisal

Tina Sutzkever Serilithograph

This item is a framed serilithograph, likely titled 'Tina Sutzkever' given the provided context and the prominent signature visible on the print. The artwork depicts a woman wearing a broad-brimmed hat adorned with autumnal or a mixture of red and orange flowers, presented in a somewhat impressionistic or stylized manner. Her gaze is directed towards the viewer, with a muted reflection or a secondary, ghost-like figure of a woman visible behind and to her right, creating a sense of depth or introspection. The colors within the print are rich, featuring greens in the background, yellows and oranges in the hat's adornments and her attire, and a somber black for the hat itself. The signature, presumably 'Tina Sutzkever,' is clearly visible in the lower left quadrant of the print. The serilithograph is matted with a triple-layer matting system: an inner metallic silver or brass thin line, followed by a wide black mat, and then a wider beige or light gold mat that directly borders the print. The entire piece is housed in a substantial, ornate gilded frame. The frame features a multi-tiered design with a very wide outer section that is primarily smooth gold, transitioning to an inner section with repeated decorative motifs, possibly a leaf or scroll pattern, in a darker, antiqued gold or bronze finish. The innermost edge of the frame, closest to the matting, also features a delicate patterned detail. The frame shows some signs of wear consistent with age, particularly where the gilt finish might be slightly rubbed or darkened in corners or raised areas, contributing to an aged patina. The overall presentation suggests a piece intended for decorative display, and the presence of a 'COA' (Certificate of Authenticity) indicates its status as a collectible fine art print.
