Winter House Appraisal

Winter House Landscape Print by T. Romance

This item is a framed print depicting a winter landscape with a snow-covered house. The house is a two-story structure, likely made of stone or brick, with prominent gables and a bay window on the left side. A welcoming porch stretches across the front, beneath a roof heavily laden with snow. Bare trees are visible around the house, contributing to the wintry atmosphere. The sky is overcast and grey, suggesting a cold, perhaps snowy, day. In the background to the right, there appears to be a smaller outbuilding, also covered in snow. The prevalent colors are muted, dominated by whites and greys for the snow and sky, with browns and deeper reds for the house, and hints of dark green and brown for the vegetation. The overall appearance suggests a watercolor medium for the original artwork due to the softness and blending of colors, though this is a print. The print is housed within a dark wooden frame, possibly walnut or a similar medium-dark stained wood, with a visible grain. Inside the frame, there is a lighter, possibly cream or light beige, mat board that creates a border around the print, enhancing its presentation. Reflections on the glass of the frame indicate it is glazed, protecting the print. The visible condition suggests the frame and mat are in good shape, with no obvious signs of significant damage or wear from the provided image. The print itself appears to be well-preserved under the glass. The signature 'T Romance' is visible in the lower right corner of the print, indicating the artist's name. The style is representational and evokes a peaceful, almost nostalgic, winter scene. Given the common practices for such art, it likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century.
