Where it works
A European eel by Bloch, a long dark olive-brown body with a pale belly looped in a lazy S across aged cream, with a diagram. The curve is the picture, so give it a long wall in a bathroom or hallway on sage or white paint at 18×12 in black, with his Mediterranean Moray.

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