Where it works
Seba's plate 63 shows two birds of paradise with long trailing straw-colored plumes, one purple-bodied in flight and one rust-red below, with two small birds, on cream with a label. The sweeping plumes suit a bedroom, dressing room or hallway on cream, sage or blush walls at 16×24 in natural wood.
