Framed 'St. Martin' Tropical Art Print with Artist Signature

This item is a small, framed art print, likely a giclée or similar reproduction, depicting a tropical scene. The print itself is rectangular, horizontally oriented, and measures approximately 3-4 inches in width given the human hand holding it for scale. The artwork features a vibrant and simplified representation of a house with a blue roof, possibly a Caribbean or island dwelling, nestled among lush green tropical foliage, including prominent large banana or palm leaves. In the foreground, there is a small, bushy tree with light-colored blossoms and what appears to be a light-colored fence. The overall color palette is bright and inviting, dominated by greens, blues, and sandy tones. Below the printed image, there is a handwritten inscription in black ink that reads "St. Martin" on the left, indicating the location depicted or the inspiration for the art. To the right of this, there is a clear, large signature, likely that of the artist. The print is housed within a clear acrylic or glass frame, which is held together at the top and bottom by small, metal clips. The frame appears to be a simple, 'sandwich' style, allowing the artwork to float between two pieces of transparent material. There are no visible signs of damage, wear, or significant patina on the print, suggesting it is well-preserved. The acrylic/glass frame also appears to be in good condition without cracks or significant scratches. The craftsmanship of the print itself appears to be of good quality, with clear colors and detail, consistent with a modern reproduction. The framing is functional and minimalist, designed to highlight the artwork. Based on the contemporary appearance of the framing and the print quality, it is likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
