Frank Howell Native American Figurative Lithograph

This is a framed, multi-layered lithograph or mixed-media print by the renowned artist Frank Howell. The artwork depicts various Native American figures with flowing, wind-swept hair, rendered in Howell's signature ethereal and highly detailed style. The primary palette consists of earthy ochres, browns, and subtle skin tones, contrasted with deep blacks and a thin reddish-pink accent border around the central image. The piece is professionally housed in a large, multi-matted frame featuring a dark, textured wood outer moulding with a gold-leafed inner beaded lip. The matting appears to be a textured 'suede' or fabric-wrapped mat in a deep brown color, which adds depth and a premium quality to the presentation. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, consistent with Howell's mark. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible signs of foxing, fading, or moisture damage to the paper or matting. The glass shows significant reflection, but the underlying ink saturation remains strong. The style is contemporary Southwestern art, likely dating from the 1980s or 1990s, characterized by its fine-line detail and spiritual, narrative quality. The craftsmanship of the print suggests a high-quality stone lithography or serigraphy process.
