Repose by Edouard Manet Art Print

Yes, Manet knew how to charm a room and how to cut. Hang this portrait and a room slows down. The cream white dress lifts the wall, while the deep red sofa and warm brown background settle everything around it. It suits a bedroom, a study or a quiet corner of the living room, especially above a low bench, a writing desk or a chest of drawers. Pair it with aged leather, dark walnut, brushed brass and chalky plaster walls. Linen, sheepskin and antique rugs all play nicely. What not to do: hang it on a cold, glossy wall or crowd it with bright modern graphics the mood is hushed, and it likes a bit of space to breathe.
