"Ducks on the Delta – Pintail" Framed Art Print by Sherrie Russell Meline

This item is a limited edition wildlife art print titled "Ducks on the Delta – Pintail" by the renowned artist Sherrie Russell Meline. The artwork is a detailed monochromatic rendering, possibly graphite or charcoal, featuring a male Northern Pintail duck in a wetland setting with tall grasses and a mountainous horizon in the background. A smaller duck head is visible in the lower right foreground. The piece is hand-signed by the artist in the lower right of the image and specifically identified as number 1 of 75, indicating high rarity for this particular edition series. The print is professionally presented in an elaborate multi-layered matting system with grey, black, and gold-trimmed bevels. Below the artwork, a cutout in the mat reveals printed text crediting the artist and likely referencing a specific Ducks Unlimited chapter or event (2001 California Ducks Unlimited). The item is housed in a decorative black and gold wooden or composite frame. Notable condition issues include visible damage to the top edge of the frame where the gold finish and black coating have chipped away. The glass and matting appear intact. The style is classic wildlife realism, characteristic of late 20th to early 21st-century sporting art.
