Limited Edition Lighthouse Print by Charles Leonard

This artwork is a framed, limited edition print depicting a coastal lighthouse—likely the Assateague Lighthouse—characterized by its distinctive red and white diagonal 'candy cane' stripes. The piece is rendered in a soft, representational style typical of Charles Leonard, featuring lush green and dark foliage in the foreground that obscures the base of the tower against a clouded, pale sky. Physically, the print is housed in a decorative wooden frame with a distressed gold-tone or gilded finish that shows significant aesthetic wear, including scuffing, loss of finish, and a notable aged patina. The artwork is protected by a white or off-white double mat with a clean rectangular window. A critical identifying feature is the artist's signature in the lower right margin, 'Charles Leonard,' alongside numbering on the left, which appears to read '177/500,' indicating its status as a limited edition run. The craftsmanship reflects late 20th-century commercial art production, intended for decorative or commemorative use. The condition of the frame suggests it has been handled or stored without protection, while the paper inside appears well-preserved with no immediate signs of foxing or water damage, though slight yellowing of the mat is visible.
