Trillium Flower Print Appraisal

Botanical Print of Trillium Flowers by Mary Dawn Robert's

This item is a framed botanical art print, specifically a watercolor reproduction depicting Trillium flowers. The primary subject is a large, central white trillium in full bloom, with its characteristic three petals and a yellow stamen cluster at its center. Two smaller trillium blooms are visible in the background, one to the upper left and another partially obscured to the upper right. The flowers are surrounded by lush green foliage, including broad, veined leaves typical of the Trillium plant and some darker, more indistinct green elements that suggest a natural, wooded undergrowth. The color palette is naturalistic, featuring various shades of green for the leaves and stems, pure white with subtle grey shading for the petals, and hints of brown in the background. The artwork appears to be a high-quality reproduction of an original watercolor, evidenced by the visible brushstrokes and the delicate blending of colors. The print is professionally matted with a dark green primary mat and a thin, contrasting maroon inner mat, which helps to define the artwork and draw the eye towards the central composition. The entire piece is enclosed within a gold-toned, possibly gilded, wooden frame that has a subtle, aged patina, showing some minor wear or rubbing along its edges, consistent with handling or display over time. The glass covering the print is clear and shows no apparent cracks or significant scratches. The visible signature, 'Mary Dawn Robert’s,' indicates the artist's identity. Based on the style and framing, this piece likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century, reflecting a traditional botanical art aesthetic. The craftsmanship of the matting and framing appears to be of good quality, contributing to the overall presentation of the artwork.
