Limited Edition Portrait of a Native American Elder by J.N. Muir

This item is a limited edition fine art print, professionally matted and presented on archival-quality textured paper. The composition features a detailed, expressive portrait of an elderly Native American woman with deeply weathered facial features, suggesting a lifetime of experience. Her hair is styled in traditional braids interwoven with red and blue fabric. The artistic style is a blend of realism and impressionistic brushstrokes, particularly in the background, which utilizes a muted palette of earth tones, grays, and subtle blues. A distinctive signature 'J. Muir' with a date of '83' and a copyright symbol appears on the mid-right side within the image area, while a secondary signature and limited edition numbering '279/1000' are visible at the bottom margin. The print displays high-quality craftsmanship with crisp lineage and rich color saturation. No significant physical damage such as tears, moisture staining, or deep creasing is observed, though the edges of the mounting paper show minor shelf wear. The piece exemplifies the Western Art movement of the late 20th century, focusing on indigenous portraiture and cultural heritage.
