Red Madras Headdress by Matisse Canvas Print

Nothing in this deep blue and rust palette whispers, even when the living room does. It is a portrait that fixes you in place, and it will happily be the loudest thing on the wall. Once it goes up, a quiet room stops feeling unfinished the blue reads as a block of colour from across the room, then the red headdress and the rust markings on the dress pull you closer. Hang it above a sofa, a sideboard or on a study wall where you sit facing it. Pair it with velvet, aged leather, dark timber and stoneware in rust and cream. Don’t crowd it with other faces or busy pattern; give it one clear wall and let everything around it stay plain. As a canvas the loose oil brushwork keeps its painted, textured feel.
