This striking 1991 vintage largemouth bass lithograph by Howard Fain captures the quiet poetry of freshwater life — a moment suspended beneath the surface where light, shadow, and motion drift together in perfect stillness.
Fain’s hand‑signed artistry brings the bass to life with a naturalist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, making this a rare and desirable piece from his Collector Series.
The artwork is beautifully presented in a solid wood frame measuring 25" wide × 28.75" high × 0.75" deep, with a warm, natural finish and multiple beveled edges that add depth and gallery presence.
The frame is a substantial 8 pounds, giving it the weight and feel of a true collector’s piece.
A double matte enhances the artwork: Outer matte: sage green, 2.75" wide Inner matte: deep forest green, 0.25" wide
Together they echo the tones of the underwater world and draw the eye inward to the 15.5" × 19" visual print area.
Protected behind real glass, the print remains crisp and luminous. The back of the frame is professionally finished and fitted with wire hangers already mounted, ready for display.
Included is the original Certificate of Registration and Authentication, confirming this as part of a limited edition of 750 prints, all signed — with plates destroyed after production. A true rarity for collectors of wildlife art, fishing heritage, or Howard Fain’s work.
This piece brings the serenity of the water’s edge into any room — a timeless tribute to nature, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of the American outdoors.
