Black-billed Sicklebill by John Gould Canvas Print

Open the curtains at late afternoon; the deep red flank plumes will handle the drama. This is a proper study piece a Victorian natural-history plate of a male and female Black-billed Sicklebill by John Gould, all fine feather detail and vine leaves against a quiet cream ground. It settles a busy wall without shouting, and gives a plain room a bit of scholarly weight. Hang it in a study, a book-lined hallway or above a low sideboard in a bedroom. Pairs well with dark wood, aged leather, brass fittings and linen in warm brown tones. Avoid crowding it with other jewel-toned prints this one likes a bit of breathing room. Printed as canvas wall art, stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
