Vintage Mid-Century Big-Eyed Jester Girl with Lute Print
This item is a tall, rectangular vertical art print featuring a stylized 'big-eyed' child figure dressed in a colorful jester or harlequin-style costume, holding a large lute. The artwork represents the popular mid-twentieth-century 'Big Eye' art movement. The figure possesses large, melancholic eyes, a small mouth, and blonde hair under a pointed cap colored with muted blues and purples. The costume consists of a jagged, multi-toned tunic and dark blue tights. The background is rendered in an impressionistic, textural style with vertical strokes of pale yellow, cream, and green. The print is mounted within a simple, dark wood-grain border, which appears to be either a thin wooden frame or a printed border on a wood-composite plaque. Condition-wise, the piece shows significant signs of age and wear; there is a visible drip mark or liquid stain running vertically through the center of the figure's face and chest, and several white spots suggesting scuffing or loss of surface material. The edges of the wood mounting show some chipping and minor structural separation. No clear artist signature is visible in this view, though it strongly reflects the style of artists like Gig, Eden, or Margaret Keane, likely dating from the 1960s or early 1970s.
