Robert Wyland Dolphin and Reef Seascape Lithograph

This item is a framed fine art print or lithograph by the renowned marine artist Robert Wyland, dated 1990 as indicated by the printed signature in the lower right quadrant. The composition features a dual-perspective 'above and below' seascape. The upper portion depicts a vibrant sunset over a mountainous coastline with a breaking wave and a solitary bird in flight. The lower, larger portion of the image shows an underwater scene featuring two dolphins in the center, surrounded by a diverse coral reef ecosystem populated by various tropical fish, including Moorish idols and butterflyfish. The color palette transitions from warm oranges and pinks at the top to deep, luminous blues and teals in the aquatic section, showcasing Wyland's signature use of light shafts. The piece is professionally mounted with a teal-colored inner mat and a white outer mat, housed behind protective glazing in a dark frame. The condition appears stable, though there is visible reflection on the glass indicating it is not museum-grade anti-reflective glazing. No immediate signs of foxing or water damage are visible in the provided image. Wyland's work from this period is highly characteristic of the 'Marine Life Art' movement of the late 20th century.
