On a warm afternoon, the deep green looks almost illegally fresh. The pair of ducks bring a quiet bit of countryside indoors without leaning twee. Hang it in a study, dining room or hallway where the eye has time to settle on the markings — the iridescent head, the crisp white flank, the pencil-fine grass behind. It earns its keep above a sideboard, a console or a leather reading chair. Sits well with oak or walnut timber, linen, aged brass and stoneware in cream and olive. Skip pastel walls and bright primary-coloured rooms — this print wants a grounded backdrop. Printed as a canvas, stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
