"The Skipper" by Adam Young (2023) - Limited Edition Framed Print

The item is a framed art print titled "The Skipper" by artist Adam Young, dated 2023. It is part of a limited edition, numbered 108 out of 200 copies. The print depicts an elderly man with a white beard and a flat cap, seated on a rocky shoreline. He appears to be gazing out towards the water, where a fishing boat is visible in the distance. A lighthouse with a glowing light stands on the right side of the composition. The scene is set at dusk or night, with a dark blue sky and water illuminated by the boat's lights and the lighthouse beam. The color palette is predominantly cool tones of blues and greens, with warm accents from the lights. The print is housed within a contemporary black wooden frame with a clean, flat profile. A white mat board surrounds the print, providing a visual separation between the artwork and the frame, which enhances the presentation. The print itself appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible signs of fading, creases, or tears. The frame also seems to be well-maintained, without any apparent nicks, scratches, or damage. The artist's signature, "Adam Young," is visible in the bottom right corner of the print, along with the edition number "108/200" and the title "The Skipper" in the bottom center. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality reproduction and a professionally framed piece. The style leans towards narrative art with a strong maritime theme, indicative of contemporary coastal or genre art, likely produced in 2023 as per the context.
