Wildlife Art Print of a Wolf Head

This item is an unframed art print depicting a detailed head of a wolf, presented against a plain, light brown or tan background. The artwork captures the wolf in a direct frontal gaze, with a stern yet intelligent expression. The physical characteristics of the wolf are rendered with realism, showcasing a thick coat of fur in various shades of brown, grey, black, and white, meticulously detailed to convey texture and depth. The eyes are a light amber color, conveying a sense of alertness. Prominent features include the dark nose and defined muzzle. The artist's signature, 'Dean Hollister' or a similar inscription, followed by the year '84', is visible in the lower right corner, suggesting it was created in 1984. The quality of the reproduction appears fine, with sharp lines and good color saturation, indicative of a well-produced print. No significant condition issues such as tears, creases, or major discoloration are evident from the provided image, although a slight glare or reflection is present across the lower right quadrant, which may obscure minor details or be a lighting artifact. The overall style is realistic animal portraiture, likely intended for display in a frame. The craftsmanship in the original artwork is high, demonstrating an understanding of animal anatomy and fur dynamics, which is well-translated in the print.
