Overview
This is a vibrant, stylized limited edition print titled 'Pear Tree' numbered 4 of 195. It features a bold, semi-abstract composition of pears hanging from branches, rendered in a warm palette of chartreuse, ochre, and coral with dark, expressive outlines.
Story
Created as part of a limited run of 195, this print captures the organic abundance of a summer orchard. The artist uses playful, rounded shapes to turn a simple fruit tree into a rhythmic dance of color and light.
Maker / Origin
The piece is signed by an artist whose signature appears to read 'D. Davis'. While Davis is a common surname in the American art market, this artist demonstrates a strong command of post-impressionist color theory and modern decorative abstraction.
Condition & Value
The print appears to be in excellent condition, housed safely behind glass with no visible fading, moisture damage, or waving of the paper. The contemporary gilt frame is also in excellent condition with minimal wear. Excellent preservation of the frame and print helps maintain the higher end of the value range.
