1990s (Original painting 1997)
Material
Paper offset lithograph print, double-matted with gold-tone accent, housed in glass-front frame (likely composite wood or wood).
Condition
Good. The print appears well-preserved behind glass; however, the glass has significant glare/surface grime. The matting looks intact, but the frame may have minor edge wear common with secondary market decor.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While Kinkade remains a household name, the mass-produced nature of these prints has led to high market saturation.

Similar matted and framed Kinkade prints of this size typically sell for $30-$50 on eBay and $20-$40 at local estate sales or thrift shops. Signed limited editions (S/N) command significantly more ($300+), but this appears to be an open-edition print.
Description
A beautiful framed offset lithograph of Thomas Kinkade's 'Garden of Prayer'. This piece features a serene landscape with a stone bridge, a gazebo, and vibrant floral arrangements. Professionally matted in deep forest green and gold tones, housed in a traditional frame. Dimensions appear to be approximately 11x14 or 16x20 based on standard framing sizes.
Key Features
Classic Kinkade 'Painter of Light' style; highly recognizable Christian and cottage-core imagery; professional framing adds immediate display value; popular landscape subject matter.
Authenticity Indicators
Facsimile signature (printed) in the bottom corner; Kinkade's distinct use of chiaroscuro; typical mass-market framing style common to 'Media Arts Group' or 'Home Interiors' distributions. High confidence in mass-market authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Significant glare in photos makes it hard to see fine details; cleaning of the glass is required; potential for 'foxing' or yellowing on the paper if not kept in climate-controlled environments; frame may have scuffs.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Local Consignment, or eBay. Local sales are preferred to avoid the high cost and risk of shipping glass.
Selling Tips
Retake photos without the reflection of the room; professional lighting will highlight the colors. Mention that it is 'Gallery Wrapped' or 'Professionally Framed' if the back is sealed. Target buyers interested in 'Cottagecore' or traditional Christian art.
