Framed Limited Edition Print of a Marsh Wren by Paul Krapf

This item is a professionally framed and triple-matted limited edition art print depicting a Marsh Wren perched among cattails. The artwork showcases a small brown and white bird with its beak open in song, rendered with fine detail suggesting an etching or high-quality lithographic technique. The print is hand-signed by the artist, Paul Krapf, in the lower right margin and is numbered 399/950 in the lower left, with the title 'Marsh Wren' inscribed in the center. The presentation features a sophisticated triple matting system: an inner brown mat with a white bevel, a middle gold-toned fileted mat, and a wide outer cream-colored acid-free mat. The entire piece is housed in a contemporary dark wood grain frame with a beveled profile. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage to the print or mats. The framing uses high-quality materials and craftsmanship, likely dating from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The artist, Paul Krapf, is known for his realistic wildlife depictions, particularly of North American birds. The inclusion of the edition number and original signature enhances its collectibility within the wildlife art market.
