Where it works
Two ruddy turnstones in Audubon's plate, one with wings thrown up to show its rust, black and white pattern, the other on a pale sand flat by still water, on cream with a museum label. Lively for a beach house, a bathroom or a kids room at 16×24 in natural wood, with his Willet.

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