This print shows three small scenes stacked vertically. The top has two faces kissing, the middle a woman sitting and holding a bunch of grapes, and the bottom a couple slow-dancing. To the right is a bold black cross with the words "RECOGNITIONS" above and "STROMBOTNE" signed below in cursive. The artist’s name matches the signature—this is by James Strombotne. The three scenes feel like snapshots of everyday moments, but the cross adds a sharp contrast. Check out the technique: lithography to see how prints like this are made.
