Where it works
Fitch's giant water lily is a wide plate: one huge pink-and-white bloom against a green ground, riding a purple-grey spined pad, set on cream with a typeset label. It hangs wide at 16×24 or 24×36 in natural wood above a sofa or a bathtub, with blush or sage walls.

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.
