Living with Orpheus And Eurydice
The portrait composition offers a vertical focal point. Consider a quieter wall beside a reading chair, or a space between windows where the artwork has room around its edges.
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.
