Marilyn Simandle 'Harbor Retreat' Framed Art Print

This item is a framed and matted print titled 'Harbor Retreat' by the renowned American artist Marilyn Simandle. The artwork depicts a serene harbor scene featuring numerous sailboats moored in front of a grand, multi-story European-style building, possibly representing Victoria, BC. The style is typical of Simandle's impressionistic watercolor technique, utilizing a light, airy palette with soft purples, greens, and blues, accented by white floral elements in the foreground. The print appears to be a limited edition or signed open edition, with a visible signature in the lower right and a title inscription in the lower left of the image's border. Physically, the piece is mounted within a wide, off-white or cream-colored mat, which is further embellished with a thin gold-toned inner border or second mat. It is housed in an ornate, deep-profile wood frame featuring a metallic gold-finish with a slight aged patina and carved floral details at the corners and midpoints. The condition of the frame shows some minor surface wear and dust accumulation consistent with age, likely late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The glass appears intact, and the colors in the print remain relatively vibrant without significant fading, suggesting it has been kept away from direct sunlight. The overall craftsmanship of the framing indicates a professional mounting intended for home decor or gallery display.
