Pastoral Watermill Scene Lithograph

This item is a framed rectangular artwork depicting a sentimental pastoral landscape. The scene features a rustic timber-framed watermill with a red-tiled roof and a large wooden wheel. In the foreground, a woman and child are depicted on the riverbank feeding ducks, evoking a late 19th-century romanticized style. The medium appears to be a color lithograph or offset print on paper. The color palette is dominated by muted earth tones, soft greens, and a terracotta red on the roof. The artwork is housed in a simple, dark-stained wooden frame that exhibits significant signs of age and wear, including scuffing and loss of finish along the edges. The print itself shows visible aging, including consistent yellowing across the paper and a prominent dark water stain or moisture damage running along the bottom and right edges. There is a small puncture or tear located near the center of the image by the mill wheel. The overall style is reminiscent of Victorian-era decorative prints used for home decor, likely dating between 1890 and 1920. No maker's mark or artist signature is immediately visible in the provided image.
