By late afternoon, the dachshund stops looking decorative and starts working. The fine black linework holds its shape when the daylight drops, so the wall keeps a point of focus instead of going flat. Hang it at eye level in a hallway, along a run of stairs, or above a low bench where people pass close enough to catch the detail. It sits happily with painted panelling, dark stained wood, aged leather and checked cotton, and the warm cream ground keeps it from feeling cold against off-white or muddy green walls. Don’t crowd it with big colourful pieces the humour is in the quiet, and loud neighbours flatten it. On fine-art paper the engraved lines stay crisp and the cream ground reads soft rather than bright white.
