Framed 'Two Figures and a Small Companion' Print

This item is a framed print depicting a stylized artistic rendition of two tall, slender figures dressed in vibrant pink or fuchsia-colored attire, possibly robes or trench coats, and wearing wide-brimmed hats in white with black bands. The figures maintain a distinctive, elongated silhouette. A smaller, quadrupedal figure, possibly a dog or another companion animal, is depicted in a similar style, also in pink and white, located at the lower left base of the taller figures. The background of the print is a solid, dark color, appearing black or very dark gray, which provides a strong contrast to the bright pink and white elements. The artwork itself appears to be a print, possibly a serigraph or lithograph, given the clean lines and bold color blocking. A signature, which appears to be 'JR' or similar script, is discernable in white in the lower right corner of the artwork. The print is housed within a silver-toned metal frame with a subtle brushed or matte finish, adding to a contemporary aesthetic. The frame itself does not appear to have any significant damage, though slight wear consistent with handling might be present upon closer inspection. The overall condition of the print within the frame appears to be good, with no obvious signs of creasing, fading, or water damage visible through the glare on the protective glazing. The framing seems to be competent, suggesting it has been protected from environmental factors. The style is distinctly modern and whimsical, potentially abstract or semi-abstract, and could date from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The use of limited color palette and strong graphic elements points to a distinct artistic choice.
