This isn't wall filler. It's deep black and cream with a point of view. Three woodpeckers on a lichen-covered tree, drawn by John James Audubon and still one of the best bird studies ever put on paper.

Hang it and a quiet room gets a backbone. The black shapes pull the eye, the red crest pings, and the cream backdrop settles everything else around it. It reads from across a room without being loud about it.

It suits a study, a country-style bedroom, or a long hallway where you want something to stop people walking through. Above a writing desk or a chest of drawers is the sweet spot.

Pairs nicely with oak, walnut, aged leather, linen and a bit of brass. Panelled walls and chalky off-whites suit it especially well.

Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
