Signed Artist Proof Print by Barbara Turner - Violinist

This item is an artist proof print by artist Barbara Turner, depicting a figure playing a violin. The artwork is characterized by an expressive, neo-impressionistic style with vigorous, multi-colored brushstrokes in a palette of deep blues, yellows, reds, and whites. The composition focuses on the gesture of the musician, with the white of the sleeve providing a strong vertical counterpoint to the dark clothing and the diagonal line of the bow. The print appears to be on high-quality paper with a white border, housed within a professional framing treatment. The frame is a classic gold-toned beveled molding with a decorative inner lip. It features a wide, pale gray or beige mat that creates significant negative space around the central image, including a thin gold fillet or inner frame detail. Based on the provided context, the piece is hand-signed and designated as an artist proof (AP), which typically indicates it was one of a limited number of prints produced for the artist's personal use or approval prior to a full edition run. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage, and the glass is intact. The style suggests a late 20th-century origin. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to color balancing and printing quality, making it a desirable piece for collectors of contemporary figurative art.
