Where it works
Audubon's black-and-white creeper, a small striped bird clinging under a larch branch of soft green needles and cones, a slender vignette in wide cream margins. Pale and delicate, it suits a bathroom, nursery or bedside on white, sage or gray walls at 16×24 in natural wood, with his Traill's Flycatcher.
