Framed Red Cardinal Illustration in Marbled Frame

This rectangular art piece features a vibrant illustration of a Northern Cardinal bird, rendered in deep crimson and scarlet tones, nestled within a rustic twig wreath adorned with bright red berries. The artwork is set against a dark forest green background. The bird is depicted with significant detail in the feathers and a distinct yellow beak. The piece is housed in a decorative multi-layered frame consisting of a gold-toned inner rope-style molding, followed by a wide teal-and-black faux-marble or verdigris-effect cellulose/plastic insert, and finally an outer beaded metal rim. The artwork itself has thin black border lines and small decorative motifs in the corners of the white matting area. Physically, the item appears to be a vintage 20th-century decorative print, likely dating from the 1970s to 1990s based on the frame style. The condition shows minor superficial scratches on the frame's marbled surface and some slight dust accumulation, but no major structural damage or moisture staining is visible on the print. The craftsmanship indicates a mass-market decorative item rather than a bespoke fine art piece, though the color saturation remains high.
