Three things it does fast: ground deep green, sharpen brass, wake the living room. The scene does the heavy lifting a white cat on a green velvet sofa, a martini on a marble table, pink panelled walls behind. The room reads richer for it: greens look greener, pinks look intentional, and warm metals stop looking accidental. Hang it eye-level above a low sofa, console or sideboard where the colour can settle into the room. Pair with brass lamps, linen cushions, oak or walnut timber, and stoneware in cream. Skip another loud focal piece on the same wall this one already runs the room. The stretched canvas gives the painterly brushwork a soft, low-glare finish.
