Goosander by Audubon Canvas Print

Once the deep green enters, the whole room stops apologising. Audubon’s two goosanders, one preening on a rock and one gliding past a low waterfall, bring a quiet heritage weight to a wall that has been sitting too neutral. The cream background keeps things light, while the dark feathers and warm brown crest give your eye somewhere to land. Hang it in a hallway, study or country dining room, above a sideboard or a run of low shelving. It sits well with painted woodwork, antique furniture, aged leather and linen. Avoid pairing it with very glossy modern art or bright pop colour this piece wants old wood, soft lamplight and a bit of patina around it.
