Where it works

Audubon's pair of tree swallows mid-flight, one showing its dark blue-green back and the other its white belly, against a soft grey wash of cloud on a cream page. The open sky suits a bedroom or bathroom on a pale wall at 16×24 in the white-mat edition, with his American Swift.

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. Also available gallery-wrapped on canvas, ready to hang with no frame.

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