By evening, the cityscape stops looking decorative and starts working. Under lamplight the fine pen lines settle down and the whole stadium reads as one calm grey shape rather than a thousand marks. Hung on a plain wall it gives a room a focal point without adding colour, which is why it suits spaces that already have enough going on a study, a hallway, a living room above a low sideboard. Keep the surrounding furnishings simple: dark wood, grey wool, glass, a little steel. Landscape format means it wants width, so give it clear wall either side. Don’t crowd it with busy patterned pieces or bright colour blocks the detail needs breathing room. As a canvas the surface softens the finest lines slightly and reads well from across the room.
