Wildlife Print Appraisal

Framed Raccoon Wildlife Print

This item is a framed art print depicting a raccoon in a natural, watery setting. The print features a detailed illustration of a raccoon with its characteristic black 'mask' around its eyes, peering down into what appears to be water. The raccoon is positioned on what looks like a mossy log or bank, surrounded by tall grasses and reeds in the mid-ground. The artistic style suggests a realistic wildlife rendering, possibly a lithograph or giclée print, or a color pencil drawing reproduction. The dominate colors within the print are earth tones, including various shades of gray, black, brown, and muted greens for the foliage and water. The print is housed within a wooden frame with a medium-brown, somewhat rustic finish, exhibiting a visible wood grain. The frame appears to be constructed with mitered corners, which are tightly joined. Inside the frame, a dark green matte board provides a border around the print, adding depth and contrast. A white or light-colored inner border is present between the dark green matte and the print itself. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage to the frame or print visible from the image, such as scratches, dents, or discoloration. The glass covering the print reflects some light, indicating its presence and protective function. Given the style, it likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the framing seems decent for a mass-produced or commercially framed piece, designed for decorative purposes rather than fine art investment.
