Trogon Variegatus by John Gould Canvas Print

Test it this way: if the study feels safe, size up. This Victorian bird study brings quiet character to a room that has settled into its palette soft pink breasts, navy heads, deep green wings and finely striped tails on a warm cream ground. Hang it at eye level above a writing desk, console or reading chair, where the detail rewards a closer look. It sits well beside walnut, brass, aged leather and linen, and looks handsome on chalky off-white, deep green or warm putty walls. Skip it if the room is already crowded with pattern or leans slick and glossy this piece wants a calmer backdrop and warm, natural materials around it.
