Another art Question

Any help on this would be great.
A. Pierre? the back says wet mount?

 

Can we see the back please?

 

hope these help

 

"Wet mount" probably refers to the way the artwork has been secured to a backing board:

"Q1 : What is the difference between wet mount and dry mount?

-Wet mounting requires the image to be mounted on a foam board that is often the same size as the poster, or is centered within the poster board using either a glue stick or spray adhesive.
-Dry mounting is a method of setting the image on a hard backing through the use of a heat-sensitive adhesive material.

A wet mount is freshly prepared, while a dry mount is pre-prepared and sealed.
Air bubbles can be trapped in a wet mount but not in a dry mount
Wet mounts are inexpensive to make and don't last as long"

The use of a wet mount method (or dry mount, for that matter) leads me to suspect that your artwork is a reproduction rather than an original. It seems unlikely that a responsible framer would mount an original this way. Fine art would be secured with "hinges" of paper or tape, not completely glued to a board. (Which is not to say that it has never been done, unfortunately.)

Can you post a photo of the back of the artwork? And please check "full image" when uploading - we will be able see it better.

 

Sniped on the wet mount discussion.

 

When looking at the back I believe it to be a print/lithograph

I hope I did it right that time..

 

Looks like a water color to me, maybe with crayon accents? There is something like that in the close up of the signature. Or maybe it's just dry brush?

 

It does look like a watercolor, but it may be a reproduction print of a watercolor. If you are willing to take it out of the frame, and are able to take a closeup of the image (preferably under magnification, if possible), we might be able to identify the medium for you.

 

If you have a loupe, look at it and see if you see a texture, like a dot pattern?

 

It's a lithograph of a watercolor. Still a nice wall hanger!

 

How about the artist name?

 

The signature does look like "A. Pierre." I haven't been able to find anything yet...

 

I know I've search too and nothing
