Where it works
Trouvelot's Mare Humorum, a close view of the moon's surface in soft greys, ringed by crater rims, with black space at the upper corner, on a cream page. Almost monochrome, it belongs over a desk or bed or in a bathroom on grey, white or charcoal at 16×24 in black, with his Planet Mars.

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