Take my hand by James Tytler Appraisal
Category: Fine Art Print
Description
This is a framed print titled 'Take my hand' by James Tytler. The print depicts a beach scene with three figures: an adult female in a yellow dress and red hat, a child in a red outfit, and another adult figure, possibly female, in a beige outfit and red hat. The figures are standing in shallow water on a sandy beach with the sea and distant shoreline visible in the background under a hazy sky. The overall color palette is soft and muted, with dominant tones of beige, yellow, red, and cool blues and grays in the sky and water. The print is presented in a simple wooden frame with a reddish-brown finish. The frame features a slight bevel on the inner edge. The artwork is set behind a wide, off-white matboard. There appear to be no significant condition issues visible in the image; the print seems to be free of creases, tears, or discoloration, and the frame and matboard appear clean and intact. The style is contemporary, and the subject matter suggests a tender, familial moment at the beach. The quality of the print reproduction appears good, with decent color saturation and detail for a print of this size.
Appraisal Report
Based on my visual examination of the photograph provided, this framed print titled 'Take my hand' by James Tytler appears to be in very good condition. The print exhibits no apparent creases, tears, significant discoloration, or other detriments visible in the image. The colors appear well-preserved with good saturation for a print. The framing, consisting of a simple wooden frame and a wide matboard, also seems clean and intact with no visible damage. My assessment of authenticity is limited by evaluating only images. James Tytler is a contemporary artist known for his print work. These prints are generally widely available and positioned within the affordable art market. Comparable sales of James Tytler's prints of similar size and subject matter typically fall within a modest range, reflecting their open or limited edition status and accessibility. Demand for Tytler's work is moderate, and prints are not considered rare. Factors impacting value include the print's condition, edition status (if visible), and the quality of the framing. However, definitive authenticity verification would require in-person examination to assess print quality, paper type, and potential signatures or edition numbers not visible in the photo. Provenance documentation, such as a certificate of authenticity from the publisher or artist, would also be crucial for complete authentication and potentially impact value.
