Bring the quiet poetry of a summer pond into your home with this vintage 1974 limited‑edition lithograph, Red Bellies, signed by Kentucky artist Howard Fain and numbered 258/1000.
The artwork captures a serene underwater moment—sunlit reeds drifting, a weathered post rising from the shallows, and a small school of brilliantly colored redbelly sunfish gliding through amber‑tinted water. It feels like a memory suspended in time.
The print is beautifully presented in a solid wood frame measuring 25.25" W × 28.75" H × 0.75" D, weighing a substantial 8 lbs 5 oz. The frame’s multiple beveled edges, warm natural finish, and gentle wear create a rustic, lodge‑style charm that pairs perfectly with the outdoor theme.
A double matte deepens the sense of depth and atmosphere: Outer matte: soft sage green, a wide 5" border that echoes the reeds and water tones Inner matte: deep forest green, 0.25" wide, subtly pulling the eye toward the fish and their glowing red bellies
The visual print area is 11" × 14.5", protected behind glass and ready to hang.
This piece is ideal for collectors of Fain’s early work, lovers of wildlife art, or anyone curating a warm, nature‑inspired interior. It brings the nostalgia of quiet fishing days, still water, and the gentle rhythm of the natural world.
A striking, soulful addition to any cabin, study, hallway, or gallery wall.
