This is a beautifully preserved vintage 1972 limited‑edition lithograph titled “Bluegills” by Kentucky artist Howard Fain, hand‑signed and numbered 258/1000.
A serene underwater moment unfolds as bluegill glide around a submerged stump, drawn toward a gently drifting fishing line and bobber above.
The scene is rich with natural detail—soft ripples, textured scales, and the quiet tension of a lure suspended in still water.
Professionally framed, this piece features a distressed wood frame that complements the rustic, outdoorsman aesthetic.
The artwork is elevated by a double‑mat design:
Outer mat: deep forest green, approx. 2.75" wide
Inner mat: soft light green, approx. 0.25" wide
Together, they create a striking contrast that pulls the eye into the artwork’s depth and color.
The frame measures approximately 22" wide × 26.25" tall × .75" deep and weighs 6 lbs 8 oz—a substantial, quality presentation.
The back is wired and ready to hang, making it perfect for a cabin, lake house, office, or any curated art wall celebrating nature and angling heritage.
A wonderful collectible for fishing enthusiasts, wildlife art lovers, and admirers of Howard Fain’s work. Displays beautifully.
