Trisha Romance (Canadian, b. 1951), "September Rose," signed and numbered limited edition print on paper, number 389 from an edition of 2,000. Pencil numbered "389/2000" at lower left, pencil titled "September Rose" at lower center, and pencil signed by the artist at lower right. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity on the reverse and presented in an elegant custom gilt-toned frame with layered forest green, cream and muted rose matting. Overall framed dimensions: 26" x 33 1/2".<br><br>A particularly appealing example of Romance's celebrated nostalgic realist imagery, "September Rose" presents an intimate mother-and-child vignette within an expansive and meticulously rendered garden setting. A stately red-brick residence, conservatory, mature trees, clipped hedges and abundant flowering roses form an architectural and horticultural backdrop of unusual richness, while the quietly observed figures introduce the sense of tenderness, memory and family life that lies at the heart of the artist's most recognizable compositions. Warm late-season light moves across the garden and façade, drawing the viewer through layers of foliage, architecture and domestic detail and giving the work the immersive, storybook atmosphere closely associated with Romance's oeuvre.<br><br>The composition is especially effective in the way the monumental house and established garden frame an otherwise private human moment: the scale of the setting heightens rather than overwhelms the tenderness of the mother holding her young child. This combination of historic domestic architecture, cultivated landscape, childhood and family sentiment places "September Rose" squarely within the subject matter most closely identified with Trisha Romance and helps explain the enduring collector interest in her signed limited editions.<br><br>Importantly, this example is not an unsigned open-edition decorative reproduction but a hand-signed, individually numbered limited edition from the 2,000-print paper issue, retaining its title inscription and certificate of authenticity. The original signature, edition notation and accompanying COA materially enhance its desirability for collectors seeking documented Trisha Romance limited-edition fine art. The substantial traditional framing and coordinated multi-layer matting further give the work a polished, presentation-ready appearance appropriate to the warmth and period character of the image.<br><br>An attractive acquisition for collectors of Trisha Romance, Canadian fine art, Canadian realism, nostalgic realism, signed and numbered limited edition prints, mother-and-child imagery, garden scenes and romantic architectural subjects. The combination of one of Romance's signature thematic subjects, a finite numbered edition, pencil signature, title inscription, certificate of authenticity and handsome custom framing makes this a notably complete and visually compelling example for the secondary market.<br><br>The work presents attractively, wi
