Georges Rouault ‘The Amazon’ (L’Amazone) Framed Print

This item is a framed print or lithograph of ‘The Amazon’ (L’Amazone), a famous work by the French Expressionist artist Georges Rouault. The composition centers on a figure in a vibrant red coat riding a grey-toned horse, rendered in Rouault's signature heavy, dark contouring that mimics the leading in stained glass. The color palette consists of earthy ochres, moody browns, and contrasting greys, with the brilliant red jacket serving as a focal point. The artwork displays a characteristic mid-20th-century modern aesthetic, likely dating from the 1940s to the 1960s. The piece is mounted within a wide off-white paper mat and a slender gold-toned wood frame. Notably, there is a round sticker mark in the lower right corner of the mat and some visible foxing or discoloration consistent with age. The thick, painterly application of color in the original work is translated here through mechanical or lithographic reproduction. The frame shows minor surface wear and edge scuffing, while the paper mat appears to have yellowed slightly over time, adding a vintage patina to the overall presentation.
