Framed Print: Girl Picking Flowers in a Misty Woodland

This item is a framed print depicting a young girl in a dreamy, misty woodland scene, gathering flowers. The print features a soft, ethereal palette dominated by muted purples, pinks, and browns, creating a gentle and nostalgic atmosphere. The central figure is a small girl, seen from behind, with light-colored hair, possibly blonde or light brown, tied with a ribbon. She wears a white or light-colored dress with a slightly ruffled hem and sleeves, accented by a subtle sash or bow. She is kneeling or sitting amidst a field of small, delicate wildflowers, appearing to pick them. To her left, partially obscured by the foliage, is a wicker basket. The background showcases a forest with sparse, tall trees, their branches softly outlined against a hazy, light-filled sky. Small birds are subtly incorporated into the upper left portion of the image, adding to the pastoral feel. The print is housed within a wooden frame, which appears to be a two-part construction: an inner gold-toned fillet and a wider, darker reddish-brown outer frame with a smooth finish. The glass covering the print shows some reflections, indicating it is likely standard clear glass. There is a visible signature in the lower left corner that appears to read "Suzanne Charman" or similar, suggesting the artist's name. The overall condition appears good, commensurate with age, though the reflections make it difficult to ascertain minor surface wear on the print itself. The frame shows minor scuffs or dust, consistent with typical household use. This art piece evokes a late 20th-century aesthetic, common for decorative prints depicting innocent or childlike themes.
