Where it works
Gould's ivory-breasted pittas, two black-headed birds with white breasts and green-and-red wings wading in shallow water under a pale sky, a wide plate set on cream with a label. Crisp and graphic, it suits a bathroom, a hallway or a study at 16×24 landscape in a black frame.

Framing. A slim black or natural wood frame right to the plate edge; the plate's own margin frames the subject.
