Framed Romantic Impressionist Print by Bettie Forder

This is a large framed decorative art print titled 'New Life' by the artist Bettie Forder, likely produced in the late 20th century (dated 1986). The image depicts a romanticized garden scene executed in an Impressionist style with visible, dappled brushwork. A central female figure in a Victorian-style pink tiered gown cradles an infant in a white Christening-style dress. They are surrounded by a lush floral garden featuring pink, mauve, and white blossoms, under a cool-toned canopy of blue and purple foliage. The print is housed behind glass in a multi-layered framing presentation: a thin forest green inner mat, a wide cream-colored main mat, and a traditional wooden frame with a beaded gold-tone gilt inner lip and a honey-stained wood outer profile. The artist's signature and a copyright date of 1986 are visible in the lower right corner of the print. The condition appears fair to good, with some visible rippling to the paper inside the frame and reflection on the glass indicating it may benefit from a more secure mounting. The colors remain soft and pastel in keeping with the romantic aesthetic. Quality is consistent with mass-produced decorative home art of the 1980s.
