Signed and Numbered Impressionist-Style Figurative Lithograph

This item is a limited edition, signed and numbered lithograph (217/398) depicting three female figures, likely farm workers or gleaners, set against a pastoral or field landscape. The artwork is rendered in an Impressionistic or Pointillist-influenced style, characterized by soft, dappled light and a palette of earthy ochres, greens, blues, and whites. The figures are dressed in traditional, perhaps European-style rustic attire, featuring head coverings and long skirts or aprons. The composition uses a horizontal format that emphasizes the depth of the field. The piece is presented in a sophisticated multi-layered professional framing arrangement. It includes a double mat set back within a deep-profile decorative frame, which appears to be finished in a neutral cream or champagne color with subtle metallic or gilt edging. The glass provides a clear view, though internal reflections are visible in the image. The craftsmanship of the matting suggests a late 20th-century production, likely from the 1980s or 1990s. The physical condition of the print surface appears excellent with no visible foxing, staining, or fading. The numbering '217/398' indicates a medium-sized print run, enhancing its value as a collectible edition. The signature, though not fully legible in the low-resolution digital image, indicates a professional artist's hand with established market presence. The overall aesthetic is one of serene, timeless rural life, making it a classic decorative fine art piece.
