What you are looking at
This is a painting about a surface. Indian Sunset: Deer by a Lake gives you the place without putting anyone in it, and the reflection is not a mirror but a slower, warmer version of the same world.
Indian Sunset: Deer by a Lake. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the reflection is built separately from the object reflecting, so the two stay slightly apart the way they do in life.
Why this one has to be painted by hand
The reflection is the whole picture and printing kills it: ink blends on the paper and stays blended. A hand-painted canvas keeps each mark separate and physical, so the water reads as water at two metres and as paint at thirty centimetres.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. You deal directly with the studio that paints it — no reseller layer.

This one reads well above a bath or a quiet reading chair. Because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit, so an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
Questions people ask before ordering
What size should I order for Indian Sunset: Deer by a Lake?
Any size you like, because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas. Most collectors choose something between 24 x 20 in and 40 x 30 in for this composition. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.
Is Indian Sunset: Deer by a Lake in the public domain?
Albert Bierstadt died in 1902, which puts this work in the public domain — commissioning a hand-painted reproduction is legal, and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original and never issue certificates of authenticity.
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We send photographs of your actual painting for approval before anything ships.
How close will it be to the original?
It is painted by hand from the same image you are looking at, so it is a painting of the painting, not a scan. Expect the composition, colour and drawing to follow the original closely, and expect the brushwork to be our painter's own — that is the point of commissioning one. You approve photographs before it ships.
