Framed Hand-Colored Etching or Lithograph of a European Village

This item is a vertically oriented, framed work of art, likely a hand-colored etching or a high-quality lithograph, depicting a serene European village scene near a waterway or canal. The art features a tall, narrow composition with a dominant vertical line suggested by dense foliage on the left and a stone wall or embankment on the right. The palette is muted with naturalistic greens, grays, and earth tones, accented by subtle hand-colored highlights in the water and architecture. The artwork is professionally matted with a thick, off-white, multi-stepped acid-free mat that provides significant depth. It is housed in a substantial, decorative dark wood or composite frame that features a gold-toned inner fillet and a textured, possibly mottled dark brown or black finish. The bottom margin of the print appears to contain a signature on the right and an edition number or title on the left, though they are not clearly legible from this distance. The overall framing style suggests a modern production, likely late 20th century to early 21st century. Condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, humidity damage, or significant wear to the frame edges. The craftsmanship of the professional mounting suggests it was intended for high-end residential display.
