'Cottage Garden' Print By Peter Ellenshaw

The item is a framed art print titled 'Cottage Garden' by Peter Ellenshaw. The print depicts a vibrant garden scene dominated by several large, red poppy flowers in the foreground. In the mid-ground, there are lush green bushes and other floral elements, leading to a distant view of a body of water, possibly a bay or ocean, with a coastline and what appears to be a small cluster of buildings or a village. The sky above is light blue with some wispy clouds. The artwork itself is rectangular and appears to be matted within the frame. The matting is a deep forest green color, providing a strong contrast and border to the lighter tones of the print. The frame is dark, likely wood or a wood-like material, with a slender gold-toned inner edge that further highlights the matting. At the bottom center of the matting, there is a small, rectangular brass or gold-colored plaque, presumably bearing the title and artist's name. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, wear, or fading visible from the image. The framing appears secure, and the glass (if present) shows no significant reflections that would indicate scratches or cracks. The print style is realistic, leaning towards picturesque, characteristic of landscape art. Given the popular nature of such prints, it is likely a relatively modern piece, perhaps dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the framing seems standard for commercially sold art prints. The artwork evokes a tranquil and idyllic pastoral setting.
