It's a collage, and the image of the woman comes from a painting by the early 19th century French painter J.A.D. Ingres, entitled "Venus Anadyomene". It is in the Musee Conde in France. Ingres also used a very similar image in another painting "Le Source".
A very simple way to determine if something is a print is to use a magnifying glass and look closely at it. All prints have some way of blending the basic 4 colors that are used to produce the many colors we see.
Most of the time, that blending is done by printing tiny dots of color that overlap each other. That's the most common. So, it you can see tiny dots under a fairly strong magnifier, it's a print.
I like it.
I collect art.
My rule is that if I like it ...it is good.
As mentioned earlier you can tell by inspecting it.
I actually have many prints, lithos and early concert posters that I dig.
Some of which are quite valuable.
That said my most valuable are originals.
Early bronze sculptures are a favorite for me.
If you dig it and like it that is all that matters.
If you just want to know a value?
We might be on a different channel.
All the best.
Andy.
