Abstract Art Print Signed by Helen Knuph Stevens

The item is a framed art print, likely a lithograph or giclée, featuring a dominant color palette of deep reds and maroons, suggesting an abstract or atmospheric scene. The surface of the print appears somewhat textured and slightly mottled due to potential dust accumulation or the nature of the print itself, evident in the subtle speckling visible across the darker red areas. There are visible reflections on the surface, indicating the presence of a protective glazing, most likely glass, which suggests the print is professionally framed. The visible area of the artwork is predominantly a rich, warm red with darker nuances. In the lower left corner of the print, there is a visible signature in what appears to be a light blue or teal color, although the full signature is not clearly decipherable from the image. Below the print, on what seems to be a mat board, there is a handwritten signature in graphite or light pencil, which reads "Helen Knuph Stevens." This second signature suggests the artist's personal endorsement of the print. The print is housed within a multi-layered framing system. There is a wide, light-colored mat board, possibly cream or off-white, providing a substantial border around the artwork. The outer frame is gold-toned, featuring an ornate, possibly carved or molded, pattern along its inner edge, indicating a decorative and somewhat classical or traditional aesthetic. The frame shows some signs of wear consistent with age, but no significant damage is apparent. The overall presentation suggests a piece from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its style of framing and the common practice of numbered or signed prints.
