Yes, the watercolour artist knew how to charm a room and how to cut. The soft washed edges keep things friendly, then the deep green pitch lands like a full stop in the middle of the wall. Hang it in a study, a hallway or a football fan’s bedroom, where the off-white background borrows light from the room rather than fighting it. It sits happily above a desk, a console or a low bookcase, and the block of black type at the base gives it a tidy, considered finish. Pair it with pale wood, grey wool, black metal and simple stoneware. Don’t crowd it with other busy maps or team memorabilia the detail in the streets needs quiet either side to read properly. As a stretched canvas it reads softer and more painterly from across the room.
