Framed monochromatic floral print in the manner of Albert Koetsier

This item is a vertically oriented monochromatic art print depicting a gladiolus-style flower against a dark, gradient background. The aesthetic is stylistically consistent with the X-ray or radiographic photography popularized by artists like Albert Koetsier, though this attribution remains a hypothesis subject to physical examination. The central subject features soft, translucent white petals and emerging buds atop a stem with sword-shaped leaves. In the lower right-hand corner of the image area, the work bears a signature that appears consistent with Koetsier, though it is slightly blurred in the photograph. The print is housed in a contemporary, warm silver or champagne-toned frame featuring a beaded inner border and a simple outer profile. It is matted with a wide white border that provides high contrast to the dark image. The construction suggests a late 20th or early 21st-century production. Condition appears good from the photo, with no obvious foxing or moisture damage on the mat, though the frame shows minor shelf wear consistent with age and handling. This identification is hedged as the signature is not perfectly legible and such prints are widely reproduced.

I have examined the image provided of the monochromatic floral art print. Based on what I can see, the work is stylistically consistent with the radiographic photography of Albert Koetsier, featuring the translucent floral anatomy and dark gradient background characteristic of that genre. The print bears a signature in the lower right that appears consistent with Koetsier's hand, though the low resolution prevents me from verifying the stroke or medium of the signature itself. While the aesthetic and signature suggest his authorship, I must treat this attribution as a hypothesis; these prints are widely reproduced for the decorative market. The framing and matting appear contemporary and are in good condition, reflecting a production likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. My value estimate of $100 to $250 assumes the piece is a signed, limited-edition lithograph or high-quality photographic print consistent with mid-market floral art. This range is based on typical market behavior for framed botanical prints of this size and stylistic appeal. I cannot verify from a photo whether the substrate is archival paper or if the signature is hand-applied versus part of the printed image. To confirm the value, a physical inspection would be required to examine the paper grain, check for a pencil signature versus an inkjet facsimile, and look for an edition number or publisher’s blind stamp. If the item is determined to be a common unsigned mass-market poster or an open-edition mechanical reproduction, the value would likely drop to a decorative range of $25 to $75. Conversely, if physical provenance or a clear edition number were established, it might reach the higher end of the stated range or beyond in a specialized floral art market.
