In the 1920s, this would have felt radical. It still does. A young woman sits calmly while seven black cats settle around her like a small, watchful court.

The room shifts when this goes up. The deep red wall and peach floral throw bring warmth and a touch of theatre, while the dark cats give the whole thing a grounded, slightly mischievous edge.

Best above a bed, a reading chair, or a small sofa where you want a real focal point. It holds a wall on its own without needing much support around it.

Pair it with warm woods, velvet or boucl upholstery, brass fittings, and stoneware in earthy colours. Soft lamplight suits it more than overhead lighting.

Don’t crowd it with other busy prints or competing florals this one wants to be the main thing on the wall. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
