By evening, the portrait stops looking decorative and starts working. The face steps forward from its dark green background and the room quietens around it. Put it where people slow down: a study wall behind a desk, a hallway you pass every day, or the wall beside a reading chair. It suits rooms with a bit of age aged leather, dark-stained wood, wool throws, painted walls in clay or deep green. Lamplight does more for it than daylight, so keep a low warm light nearby rather than a spotlight. Don’t crowd it with busy patterned pieces or bright colour prints; this one needs breathing room to hold a wall properly. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with real wood framing available if you want a sharper edge.
