When the hallway feels over-arranged, this kind of dog study helps. It brings a bit of movement and humour to a wall that has started to look too tidy. The linework is fine and the tones stay in the black-and-cream range, so it adds interest without adding colour. Hang it at eye level along a hallway run, above a low bench, or in a study where you pass it daily. It sits happily with aged leather, dark stained wood, cane, and cream painted walls. Keep the area around it fairly plain busy patterned wallpaper or a loud colour behind it will bury the detail. As canvas, the warm paper tone reads softer and the edges look relaxed rather than formal.
