Framed Print: 'Girl with Cat' by Jacek Yerka (after original)

This item is a framed print, likely a reproduction, of a painting attributed to the surrealist artist Jacek Yerka. The print depicts a young person, possibly androgynous but with feminine features, shown from the chest up. They are holding a small, dark-colored cat close to their body with both hands. The figure's skin tone appears somewhat pale, contrasting with the dark background elements. The background features a prominent, arched structure in vibrant red and orange hues, with some hints of yellow or gold, possibly suggesting a halo-like element behind the figure's head. The overall color palette is dark and moody, with the red-orange arch providing a striking focal point. The print itself exhibits significant wear, with numerous small white specks scattered across the surface, likely dust or damage to the print and/or the protective glazing. The print is housed within a mat board, which appears to be a light cream or off-white color. A thin, burgundy or deep red border runs along the inner edge of the mat, framing the print stylishly. The mat itself shows some discoloration and speckled marks, consistent with age or exposure to environmental elements. The framing is simple, presenting the print as a decorative artwork. While no specific manufacturing marks or signatures are clearly visible from the image, the style strongly aligns with contemporary surrealist or fantasy art, making it likely a modern reproduction, possibly from the late 20th century or early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the print and the framing appear standard for mass-produced decorative art.
