Sapphire Hummingbirds by John Gould Canvas Print

Not because it’s cream, but because it refuses to fade back. The two little sapphire-throated birds hold their own on the wall, and the yellow waterlily gives a room a slow, unhurried focal point. Hang it in a study, a hallway or above a bedside table where you’ll catch it at close range. It sits happily with oak or walnut furniture, linen curtains and soft green or off-white walls. Small ceramics, worn leather and a stack of books all read well beside it. Keep neighbouring art quiet busy modern graphics or hot colour will drown the delicate hand-colouring. Stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang.
