Framed Print of 'The Wood Gatherers' (After Arthur John Elsley)

This item is a framed decorative art print depicting two young children in a winter woodland setting. The scene shows an older girl and a younger child pulling a wooden cart overloaded with gathered sticks and twigs through the snow. The print is housed in a substantial, multi-layered vintage frame. The outermost frame is a dark walnut-toned wood with a simple beveled profile, followed by a wide, textured tan-colored linen or fabric-wrapped mat. The innermost border is a gilded gold-toned wood filet with visible distressing and aged patina. The overall construction suggests a mid-20th-century decorative piece (circa 1950s-1970s). The print itself exhibits a muted, slightly faded color palette with dominant cool tones of blue and white, contrasted by the red of the child's hooded garment. Regarding condition, there is noticeable wear to the gold gilding on the inner frame, showing dark under-layers which may be intentional distressing or natural aging. The outer wood frame has minor scuffs. The linen mat appears slightly yellowed with age but remains structurally intact. The print seems to be a mass-produced lithograph or textured print rather than an original painting, typical of mid-century home decor.
