The Cage by Berthe Morisot Canvas Print

First glance: warm brown. Second glance: the still life doing something smarter two small birds nestled into a wicker cage, with cream blooms spilling from a painted porcelain pot just beyond. The room shifts the moment it goes up. A bare wall above a reading chair or low chest of drawers stops feeling empty and starts feeling lived-in, with that easy lamplit warmth older paintings give a room. Hang it at eye-level above a small chest, a writing desk, or a bedside table. Pair it with linen, warm oak, soft cream walls and a stoneware lamp. Avoid sleek chrome, neon brights or anything high-gloss next to it the loose brushwork wants softer company. The canvas weave adds an extra painterly feel to the loose brushstrokes.
