Celebratory Stock Market / Office Scene Art Print by D. Collins

The item is a framed art print, likely a limited edition or open edition print, captured under what appears to be a protective glazing, possibly glass or acrylic. The print depicts a lively and crowded scene, characteristic of a trading floor or a busy office environment during a celebratory event. The style is distinctly cartoonish or caricatured, with exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic poses. Figures are primarily depicted in business attire, such as suits and ties for men and blouses/jackets for women, with some wearing party hats, suggesting a celebration. Notable features include numerous yellow slips of paper, possibly confetti or discarded stock tickets, raining down or scattered throughout the scene. A large clock is visible in the upper central portion, displaying approximately 7 o'clock. Text that appears to say 'GOOD-BYE' can be seen on a green wall towards the right. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing a wide range of hues including red, blue, brown, yellow, and various skin tones, with strong outlines defining the figures. There is a signature 'D. COLLINS' visible in the lower right corner, suggesting David Collins as the artist. The print is housed within a simple, possibly wooden, frame with a light-colored mat. Visible condition issues include reflections off the glazing, indicating its protective layer, but no obvious damage to the print itself can be discerned from the image. The framing appears intact, though the full condition of the frame and mat cannot be thoroughly assessed. The subject matter suggests a contemporary or late 20th-century style, possibly from the 1980s or 1990s, given the depicted fashion and general ambiance indicative of financial boom periods. The craftsmanship appears competent for a print, with good color registration and detail for the illustrative style.
