Lioness in Lace Royal Portrait Canvas Print

Lioness in Lace Royal Portrait Canvas PrintThink of it as the Dutch Old Masters with less reverence and better instincts. A lioness sits for her formal portrait black gown, white lace collar, marigold crown, peach fan in a gloved paw. The room shifts when this goes on the wall: a quiet corner gains a sense of humour, a serious room loosens up. Hang it solo above a sideboard, console or reading chair where it can hold the eye, or use it as the hero of a dark, antique leaning wall. Pairs well

the fourth in her Ten Largest series — a warm orange field carrying pink

so it sits well on chalky off-white walls

lived-in company

Portrait orientation means it slots into narrower walls easily

and gets along nicely with brass fittings and white plaster walls

the portrait turns from nice idea to main character

Don't try to calm it down with a moody gallery wall or pair it with another statement piece in a clashing colour — let it lead

beside the kettle

or oak to lean softer

The heart inside a circle reads as steady and grown-up — not sweet

the terracotta pots add warmth

a patterned rug and a few stoneware pots
