Long-tailed Duck by Audubon Canvas Print

Rooms go quieter when warm brown is this sure of itself. This is Audubon’s long-tailed duck plate from Birds of America, drawn with patient detail and brought to canvas wrapped on a wooden frame. The cream background gives the room space to breathe, while the brown plumage and dark tail feathers add weight without weighing things down. Hang it above a writing desk, a console in the hallway, or alongside a reading chair where its quiet authority can do the work. Pair with aged leather, linen, brass and a single stoneware vessel. Avoid hanging it against busy floral wallpaper or in a room already crowded with bold colour it earns its keep when there’s room around it.
