Framed Landscape Pastel or Print with Geometric Matting

This item is a horizontally oriented framed artwork featuring a tranquil lakeside landscape. The central image depicts a row of trees in autumnal colors—reds, oranges, and deep greens—reflected across the surface of a calm body of water. The sky and water are rendered in vibrant blue tones with wispy white horizontal strokes suggesting clouds and ripples. The artwork is housed behind glass and features a distinctive custom matting system; a primary tan-colored mat is accented with four brown vertical and horizontal bands that cross at the midpoints of the frame, creating a geometric notched effect around the central image. The frame itself is a wide, metallic-finish moulding with a dark silver or pewter tone, exhibiting a textured surface consisting of fine horizontal striations. While the medium appears to be a pastel or a soft-focus print, the lack of visible brushstrokes suggests a contemporary mass-produced decorative piece, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition appears fair, though there is a noticeable glare on the glass surface and some dust accumulation. No visible artist signature is discernable in the current photograph, suggesting it may be commercial decor art.
