White Peacock Print Appraisal

Framed White Peacock Print

This item is a framed art print featuring a white peacock amidst foliage. The print depicts an albino or white-phase peacock in profile, facing towards the right side of the image, with its head slightly turned. Its majestic plumage, rendered in soft white and very light blue-green hues, fills a significant portion of the composition. The background is a muted, misty mix of grays and soft purples, suggesting a tranquil, ethereal setting with subtle hints of blurred flora and blossoms in shades of dusty pink and light lavender. The overall color palette is pastel and subdued, contributing to a serene atmosphere. The print is housed under glass within a sleek, minimalist polished brass or brass-tone metal frame. The frame has a simple, flat profile and appears to be in good condition with a consistent metallic sheen, showing minimal signs of wear or tarnishing that would suggest significant age or neglect. There is a multi-layered mat board surrounding the print. The innermost mat is a smooth, light cream or off-white color, directly adjacent to the print. This is followed by a narrow, subtle pink stripe, then another wider strip of the same light cream/off-white, and finally another narrow pink stripe before meeting the frame. This matting arrangement creates a soft border that complements the delicate colors of the print. The condition of the print itself appears good through the glass, with no immediately visible tears, discoloration, or foxing. The glass also seems free of significant scratches or cracks. The style of the artwork suggests a decorative piece, likely from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s-1990s, given the print quality and frame style. The craftsmanship points to a mass-produced decorative item rather than a unique fine art piece, commonly found in home decor stores.
