Bettye Malone Charlie Boy Signed Numbered Framed Art Print

This limited edition offset lithographic art print is titled Charlie Boy by the celebrated Tennessee artist Bettye Malone, dating from the late twentieth century. The composition depicts a nostalgic, impressionistic scene of a young boy carrying a fishing pole down a country path, beautifully capturing Malone's characteristic rendering of soft natural light and gentle regional themes. It represents a highly collectible work from her popular series of rural childhood vignettes, distinguished by individual hand-signed and numbered detailing. The print is executed on textured paper stock to replicate the appearance of an oil canvas and is displayed beneath protective sheet glass with a professional dual-layer dark green and cream mat. It is personally hand-signed in red pencil and hand-numbered 718/1000 by the artist directly on the face, situated just above the printed signature plate. Housed within a traditional dark cherry-finished wood composite molding frame measuring twenty by twenty-three inches, the backing consists of a sealed Kraft paper dust cover with an attached stranded steel hanging wire. The backing paper has a localized tear in the upper-left corner, and the outer frame shows minor age-related scuffs along the edges. As a hand-signed, limited edition work by a notable Tennessee impressionist who operated out of Nashville and Gallatin, this piece carries significant regional collecting appeal. Its traditional style and soft palette make it an excellent choice for grounding a classic Southern interior, traditional farmhouse, or rustic gallery display with authentic local artistic heritage.
