Where it works

Steadman's 1918 Colla avocado is a round green fruit with a bumpy, lightly bruised skin and a long woody stem rising above it like a handle. The stem gives the plate a vertical line for a hallway or stair landing at 16×24 in natural wood.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.

Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject. Also available gallery-wrapped on canvas, ready to hang with no frame.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other kitchen prints (10% off three or more).
