Produced in the late 20th century, this artist signed wildlife print features a smooth lithographic texture and a large rectangular silhouette enclosed in a tiered mahogany-tone wooden frame.
Invoke the crisp, bracing energy of a lakeside morning with this signed print, "Autumn at Baker—Trumpeter Swans," by the legendary wildlife master David A. Maass. This breathtaking composition serves as a vibrant archive of the classic American naturalists' tradition, capturing the powerful grace of trumpeter swans as they navigate a sun-drenched wetland. Maass’s mastery of atmospheric light and avian anatomy creates a profound sense of movement, from the detailed white plumage of the swans to the soft, hazy autumn treeline reflected in the water. This substantial work offers a grounded and soulful centerpiece for a lodge-inspired study or a heritage-themed gallery.
Measuring approximately 19.75 inches by 25.25 inches, this piece is professionally matted in a rich gold tone and housed in a traditional dark wooden frame accented with a gold-tone fillet. The lower margin features the artist’s signature, providing significant archival value and provenance to the piece. This print remains in very good vintage condition, preserving its rich color saturation and fine illustrative details. As an honest vintage artifact, the wooden frame exhibits a few light scuffs that have been touched up with a professional wood pen, and the protective paper on the reverse side shows slight, authentic damage reflective of its history. Whether featured as a visual cornerstone in a traditional interior or added to a gallery of nature art, this Maass print brings an enduring and imaginative energy to any curated space.
Details: Measures about 19.75 by 25.25". Very good condition. The wooden frame has a couple scuffs that I went over with a wood pen. The backing has slight damage.
