On a wall the print carries a sense of place and a soft glow. It suits a hallway, a living room or a study, and works as a quiet focal point above a console or desk. Its dusk palette of amber and blue settles into rooms with warm wood and muted textiles, and it pairs well with other city or landscape prints from the same series.
Choose the format that suits the room. The unframed print arrives on thick matte fine-art paper. The framed option is set behind shatter-resistant acrylic in a slim wood moulding, ready to hang. The canvas edition is printed on satin-coated cotton and stretched over a wooden frame.
