A framed colored lithograph titled “Flying Bird,” identified on the backing label as by Georges Braque, French, 1882. The composition features a stylized white bird in flight set against a green oval form, with four dark geometric blocks crossing behind it on a warm cream-toned ground. The work is presented under glass in a dark frame with a wide dark mat, giving the piece a strong modernist presentation. The reverse retains an old paper backing with gallery-style label reading “Flying Bird / Original Colored Lithograph / By Georges BRAQUE / French 1882,” along with inventory number 39-288-9. The backing paper shows significant age-related tearing, losses, and brittleness, while the visible image area appears presentable with some expected toning, light surface specks, and possible mat/glass marks.

Approx. frame size (in): 20.75 x 15.75 x 1.5, Approx. painting size (in): 12.25 x 9.75.
