Child Among the Hollyhocks by Morisot Canvas Print

Child Among the Hollyhocks by Morisot Canvas PrintWe like a garden scene best when it comes with a little abrasion. Morisot's brushwork is loose and quick, and the colour sits in dusty greens, soft cream, warm brown and small dabs of pink and red nothing tidy, nothing posed. On the wall, it softens a sharp modern room and adds a bit of summer to a quiet one. Hang it above a bed, a low chest of drawers or a small reading chair where you can sit close to it. Pair it with linen, painted wood, aged brass

Most poolside prints behave

calm and a bit knowing

warm brown and deep green

white ceramics and a trailing pothos or two

and linen in off-white or warm red

Don't crowd it with other bold florals or busy patterns — give it room to do the talking

your kitchen can carry more ochre than it thinks

A ginger tom stretched across a deep green sofa

Pair it with oak or ash timber

Audubon's Arctic Tern is the rare bird print that earns its place — sharp red beak

woven rugs and soft black metal fittings

and brown hues
