Framed print signed 'Altman'

This framed graphic work depicts a park scene in autumn featuring slender trees, pathways, and seated figures rendered in muted tones with touches of green. The physical characteristics include a paper print housed beneath a mat board inside a simple wooden frame, protected by glazing. Notable markings visible in the lower margin include a fraction reading '40/225' on the lower left, a title or inscription in the center reading 'Fall', and a signature at the lower right reading 'Altman'. The condition appears generally well-preserved within the frame, showing standard presentation with minor glare from the glass. The style suggests late 20th-century printmaking, displaying characteristics consistent with limited edition etchings or lithographs of the period, though the exact printing medium cannot be determined through the glass. The identification rests strictly on the visible inscriptions and signature present in the lower margin of the sheet.

Based on the visual evidence provided in the photograph, I have evaluated this framed graphic work depicting an autumn park scene. The piece features a paper print bearing the title 'Fall', a limited edition numbering of 40/225, and a signature in the lower margin reading 'Altman'. Based on what I can see, the style and presentation suggest a late 20th-century limited edition print, possibly an etching or lithograph. However, I cannot verify the exact printing medium, paper quality, or the validity of the signature from a photo alone; physical inspection by a qualified paper conservator or print specialist would be needed to confirm these details. The value range provided of $300-600 assumes that the attribution to an artist named Altman is correct and that the print is a legitimate limited edition work of the period. Limited edition prints of this nature typically trade within this moderate bracket in the current secondary art market, driven by decorative appeal and steady interest in late-century printmaking. It must be noted that this valuation is entirely conditional upon authentication. Should physical inspection reveal that the item is a modern reproduction, a facsimile, or a decorative copy rather than an autographic limited edition print, the market value would drop significantly, likely falling into the $50-100 range purely as framed wall decor. To fully establish the value and authorship, one would need in-person expert examination, a search for documented catalog raisonné matches, and any available provenance or acquisition history.
