Living with Narcissus
The landscape composition suits a wider wall or a place above a console. Measure the available width before deciding on a print; surrounding space helps the composition read clearly.
On the artwork page, compare three room settings, then choose an unframed poster, wooden framed poster, rolled canvas, or stretched canvas. Sizes are listed in centimetres and inches. The final crop depends on your chosen proportions, so check the preview before ordering.
