Tabac Cafe Serigraph Appraisal

Victor Schvaiko 'Tabac Cafe' Serigraph

This item is a framed serigraph by Victor Schvaiko, titled 'Tabac Cafe'. It depicts a charming street scene with two storefronts side-by-side. On the left, a blue-painted storefront with the word 'Fleuriste' (Florist) visible above the doorway. This shop is adorned with climbing rose vines with red blossoms and potted plants on the sidewalk, adding a touch of natural beauty. To the right, a dark green storefront labeled 'Tabac Cafe', featuring large display windows and an ornate door. The windows of the 'Tabac Cafe' appear to reveal a cluttered interior, typical of such establishments, with hints of various goods. The overall artistic style is realistic with fine details, suggesting the artist's ability to capture the essence of a European street. The print is professionally matted with a dark blue board and framed in a simple, flat gold-toned frame. The visible matrix indicates a serigraph (screen print) technique, characterized by dense, uniform color application and crisp lines. A small, round gold seal or coin is visible in the lower right corner of the matting, possibly an authentication mark or part of the presentation. The print itself is numbered 172/950, indicating it is one of a limited edition. The visible condition appears excellent, with no immediate signs of wear, damage, or fading to the print or matting. The frame also appears to be in good condition. The serigraph technique ensures vibrant colors and durability. The craftsmanship suggests a professional production, typical of fine art prints intended for collection.
