Too much beige. Not enough orange. This fixes that. A black cat sits at the edge of a sunlit Italian hillside village, painted in loose, Fauvist brushwork with a bright sun, red-roofed houses and a confetti path underfoot.

Hang it and a quiet room finds its centre of gravity. The orange and yellow do the heavy lifting; the cat anchors everything else.

It works best on a wall that can take colour a hallway, a bright living room, a sunny kitchen. Give it a bit of breathing room above a console or sideboard.

Pair with warm oak, terracotta, linen and a little brass. Chalky off-white or warm plaster walls suit it well.

Don’t crowd it with other bold pieces this one wants to lead. Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang.
