Two Girls Lithograph Appraisal

Framed Native American Lithograph of Two Girls

This item is a framed and triple-matted artwork depicting two young Native American girls set against a soft desert landscape. The central image features the girls with dark hair in pigtails; the girl on the left wears a yellow fringed dress with decorative embroidery, while the girl on the right wears a white and blue outfit. The style is characteristic of late 20th-century Southwest regional art, likely 1980s or 1990s. The artwork is presented in a light-colored natural wood frame with rounded edges. The matting is multi-layered, consisting of a sage green outer mat with a decorative geometric cutout in the lower right corner, followed by a pinkish-tan middle mat and an innermost sage green mat. These pastel tones complement the soft color palette of the illustration. The condition appears fair to good, though potential moisture damage or yellowing is visible at the very top edge of the inner paper. The professional custom framing indicates high-quality presentation, though the wooden frame shows very minor surface scuffing characteristic of its age. The geometric 'arrow' motif cut into the matting is a distinctive design choice common in Southwestern-themed commercial framing galleries.
