Frank V. Hoffmann Signed Etching or Lithograph

This is a framed piece of fine art featuring the work of artist Frank V. Hoffmann. The artwork appears to be a multi-colored etching or lithograph, characterized by earthy sepia, brown, and muted ochre tones. It showcases a highly textured, almost grain-like surface typical of printmaking techniques from the early to mid-20th century. A critical feature of this item is the pencil signature 'Frank V. Hoffmann' located on the bottom margin just below the image plate. The piece is housed in a professional custom mat with a distinctive tiered or 'stepped' design, which adds a decorative architectural element and depth to the presentation. The framing includes a dark wooden border. Regarding condition, there is visible light glare on the glass, but the artwork itself shows a soft patina consistent with age. There are minor scuffs on the wooden frame edges. The overall craftsmanship of the print suggests a skilled artist with an attention to atmospheric lighting and shadow. The piece reflects a traditional, representational style likely dating from the mid-1900s.
