Signed and Limited Edition Botanical Lithograph by Carmel Foret

This item is a limited edition offset lithograph or fine art print featuring a botanical illustration of a pink rose bud or similar floral subject. The artwork demonstrates a soft, watercolor-like aesthetic with delicate gradations of dusty pink and mauve in the petals, complemented by muted sage green sepals and leaves. The piece is physically marked with the artist's name 'Carmel Foret' in printed script, a copyright date of 1988, and a hand-written edition number of 83/1800. Below the edition number, there is a distinct hand-signed signature by the artist, Carmel Foret, which adds significantly to its provenance and value. The paper appears to be a heavy-weight art stock with a matte finish, typical of high-quality late 20th-century commercial art prints. Regarding condition, the paper shows a slight yellowish tint consistent with natural aging or exposure to light (toning/foxing), which suggests it may not have been stored under UV-protective glass. The craftsmanship reflects the popular 'shabby chic' or romantic botanical style of the late 1980s. There are no immediate signs of physical tears or creases visible in this detail view, though the overall evenness of the paper suggests it has been kept flat.
