Stan Beckman Appraisal

Framed Giclée Print 'Limousin Village' by Stan Beckman

The item is a framed giclée print titled "Limousin Village" by Stan Beckman. The print depicts a narrow, cobbled street winding through an old European village. Textured stone buildings with shuttered windows and some climbing vines flank the pathway, which leads to an arched passageway in the distance. The color palette is naturalistic, featuring muted earth tones for the buildings and vibrant greens for the foliage, with pops of warm orange and brown from scattered autumn leaves on the cobblestones. The print appears to be matted within a white border and housed in a sleek, dark-colored, likely black, frame. The visible portion of the print shows fine detail in the stonework and foliage, indicative of a high-quality giclée process. A signature, likely 'Stan Beckman,' is visible in the lower right corner of the print's image area. A significant feature is the accompanying Certificate of Authenticity, which states that the print is a "Giclée by Stan Beckman," with an edition size of "450 and 45 artist proofs." It also notes that the "Printing done in the Beckman Studio" and specifies a "Date of publication: 2/14/02." The certificate is adhered to the backing of the framed piece, suggesting it is part of the original presentation. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible damage or significant wear to the print or frame. The craftsmanship of the giclée indicates attention to detail and color fidelity, aiming to replicate the original artwork's appearance.
