Court Origins is an Ana Inciardi mini print depicting the Statue of Liberty dressed in a black basketball jersey reading "LIBERTY 97," rendered in the statue's characteristic blue-green tones against a soft pink background. The composition places Lady Liberty in her full iconic pose, torch raised, tablet in hand, with the dark jersey layered over her robes as if she has suited up for game day. The number 97 on the jersey ties directly to the founding year of the New York Liberty, the WNBA franchise that has played in New York since the league's inaugural 1997 season. The team's name is a direct nod to the city's most recognizable monument, making this visual mashup feel less like a joke and more like a natural reunion. Collectors drawn to New York sports culture and city iconography respond strongly to this print. Inciardi has a consistent ability to find the affectionate overlap between place and pop culture, and Court Origins demonstrates that instinct clearly. As a landmark print it connects to the wider thread of New York subjects running through her catalog, and it pairs naturally with her other New York city scenes for collectors building a borough-focused wall grouping. The hand-drawn quality, visible in the slightly loose letterforms and sketch-style linework, keeps the image from feeling like graphic design, which is a consistent characteristic collectors appreciate across her work. The "ANA INC" signature in the lower right corner is standard for her mini prints.
