Street Scene Drawing/Print by Jean O'Donnell

This item is a framed piece of artwork, likely a drawing or print, depicting a narrow, winding street scene within what appears to be an old European or Middle Eastern town. The dominant colors are monochromatic, primarily black, white, and shades of grey, indicating it could be an ink drawing, a linocut, or a similar graphic medium. The architectural details are intricate, showing multi-story buildings with numerous windows, some of which feature grilles or shutters, and textured facades suggesting stone or brickwork. The perspective creates a sense of depth, with buildings converging towards a vanishing point in the distance. The overall style is illustrative and somewhat whimsical, with a focus on pattern and texture. The artwork is housed under glass within a dark, possibly black or dark brown, wooden frame that features a simple, clean profile. Surrounding the artwork within the frame is a light-colored, possibly off-white or cream, mat board which provides a border and separation from the frame. The mat appears to be either fabric-covered or a high-quality paper with a subtle texture. Visible on the lower right of the artwork, below the main image, is a signature that appears to read "Jean O'Donnell" or similar, indicating the artist's identity. The condition of the artwork itself appears good, with no obvious signs of tearing, creasing, or significant discoloration. The mat board shows minor, subtle smudges or dust marks in certain areas, particularly around the lower left and upper right edges. The frame also appears to be in good condition, with minor scuffs consistent with handling and display. Based on the artistic style and the apparent medium, this piece likely dates from the mid-20th century to contemporary.
