The White House: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Framed Print

This item is a framed art print depicting a historical or idealized scene of The White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The print is housed within a substantial wooden frame, likely a dark stained hardwood, with visible grain and a polished finish. The frame appears to have a simple, classic profile. The print itself is protected by a clear pane of glass or acrylic which exhibits some glare and reflections in the image, indicating its reflective surface. Behind the glass and within the frame, there is a white mat board surrounding the central artwork, creating a border for the image. A thin, dark inner line or fillet, possibly dark blue or green, is visible between the mat and the print, adding a subtle accent. The artwork portrays The White House, with its iconic white facade and classical columns, flanked by lush green trees, some of which are still bare or just beginning to bud, suggesting a spring or late winter setting. In the background, a tall, dark obelisk-like structure, likely the Washington Monument, rises above the trees. The foreground features a bustling scene with various figures dressed in period attire, suggesting an earlier era rather than contemporary. A horse-drawn carriage is prominently visible on a road or path leading to the White House. There are ornate lampposts or decorative elements along the path. The overall color palette is somewhat muted and natural, with greens, browns, and soft yellows dominating, creating an atmospheric feel. Below the main image, centered on the white mat, text is visible, likely indicating the title of the piece, '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue', and possibly the artist's name or edition details, though these are not clearly legible. Further below this text, a small, rectangular metallic plaque or plate is affixed to the mat, potentially providing additional information such as the artist, title, or a commemorative detail. The craftsmanship of the framing appears solid, aiming for a formal presentation. There are no obvious signs of significant damage to the frame or the print from the provided image, though the reflection makes it difficult to assess the print's surface condition in detail. The style evokes a classic, traditional landscape or architectural rendering.
