Framed Portrait Print/Watercolor of a Young Boy in Western Attire
This item is a framed artistic portrait depicting a young boy in stylized Western or Victorian-era attire. The subject is shown wearing a large, dark-brimmed hat, a white collared shirt with a black ribbon string tie, and a distinctive ochre or mustard-colored patterned vest featuring diamond-shaped motifs. The boy's facial expression is captured with an open mouth, as if in the middle of speech or singing. The medium appears to be a high-quality lithograph or watercolor on paper, characterized by soft tonal gradients in the skin and more expressive, layered brushwork in the vest and background. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, which appears to read 'G. Harvey' (Gerald Harvey Jones), a noted American artist famous for his Western and nostalgic themes. The artwork is professionally mounted with a multi-layered matting (green and terracotta) and protected by glass within a gold-toned frame. The condition appears sound with no visible foxing or water damage, though there is a prominent glare on the glass from external lighting in the photograph. The style suggests a late 20th-century homage to late 19th-century American life, executed with high technical skill in realistic character rendering.
