Tropical Balcony View Serigraph by McKnight

This item is a framed fine art print, likely a serigraph or high-quality lithograph, by the renowned American artist Thomas McKnight. The artwork features a classic tropical interior scene looking out through open teal-colored shutters toward a vast blue ocean dotted with sailboats and a distant island under a bright sun or moon. The foreground is rich with detail, reflecting a leisurely lifestyle: two tropical drinks on a tray, a patterned armchair draped with a colorful textile, a straw hat, and a book resting on the ledge. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing a flat, graphic style characteristic of late 20th-century decorative art, specifically the 1980s or early 1990s. The piece is housed in a thin, gold-toned metallic frame with a white bevel-edged mat. A signature is visible in the lower right-hand corner, consistent with McKnight's cursive style. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or paper ripples, though there is a prominent reflection on the glass from the photographic process. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise registration of the colors and the clean, architectural lines of the composition.
