Hang this where the side-light hits and the grey sharpens. Pencil lines this fine come alive when daylight rakes across them, and the whole waterfront scene gets crisper the closer you stand. On the wall it does the job a big photograph can’t: it holds a room quietly, then rewards anyone who steps in for a proper look at the roof trusses, the dock water and the thousands of tiny figures crossing the plaza. Best above a desk, a sideboard or a run of low shelving where people pass close. Pair it with dark wood, leather, chrome and plain painted walls. Don’t crowd it with loud colour prints or busy patterned wallpaper the detail needs clear air around it to read. As a canvas the surface softens the greys slightly and the edges wrap clean.
