Signed Loons Print by R. Colebrook

This item is a framed fine art print depicting a loon (Gavia immer) in water. The print is framed under what appears to be a clear protective glazing, likely glass or acrylic, within a light-colored, possibly natural wood, frame. The artwork itself illustrates a black-backed loon with a distinctive black head, a red eye, and a white, checkered pattern on its back, typical of a common loon. The loon is floating on water that reflects a muted, dark background, likely depicting trees or a rocky landscape. The reflections in the water suggest movement, with horizontal lines indicating ripples. To the left and slightly behind the loon, a section of a white, presumably open wing from another bird is visible, suggesting a second bird is partially depicted or implied. The colors in the print are generally subdued, featuring natural tones of greens, browns, and grays for the background and water, with the stark black and white of the loon providing a strong focal point. The print is mounted with a white mat board that provides a clear border between the artwork and the frame. The most significant feature is the visible signature in the lower right margin of the print, handwritten in what appears to be pencil, reading "R. Colebrook". This signature indicates it is a signed print, which often enhances its value. The print's condition appears good with no immediate visible damage to the print itself or the frame, although direct inspection for foxing, fading, or frame scratches is not possible from the provided image. The style suggests a realistic or naturalistic approach, common in wildlife art, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given the printing quality and framing aesthetics.
