Daybreak by Maxfield Parrish Lithographic Print

This item is a large-format lithographic print of the iconic 1922 painting 'Daybreak' by American artist Maxfield Parrish. The scene depicts two female figures in a lush, neo-classical landscape overlooking a calm body of water with towering mountains in the background, illuminated by the radiant, amber glow of dawn. The color palette is characteristic of Parrish’s work, featuring vibrant 'Parrish Blue' sky tones and warm, golden earth tones. The print is housed in a wide, rectangular wooden frame with a decorative gilded or metallic bronze-finish molding featuring repetitive scrollwork or foliate motifs. The construction suggests an early to mid-20th-century mass-market production, which was highly popular in American homes. The print is protected behind glass, though visible glare suggests it may not be museum-grade anti-reflective glazing. Regarding condition, the frame shows possible light surface wear and minor scuffing consistent with age, while the print appears relatively well-preserved without significant fading or water damage visible in the provided image. The overall style is Art Nouveau/American Illustration, and the craftsmanship of the frame reflects typical 1920s-1940s residential interior decor quality.
