Where it works
Trouvelot's aurora: a fan of pale white-green rays rising from a dark treeline into a deep teal night sky, with a red-pink glow at the horizon and scattered stars. The dark sky suits a bedroom or reading corner on navy or charcoal at 16×24 in black, with his Great Nebula in Orion.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject.
Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
