What is actually happening

People at work, or pretending not to work. Horse market catches people in the middle of doing something, and the bodies are weighed properly: you can tell how each figure is carrying itself.

Horse market. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the figures are drawn first and the colour put on top, so the bodies keep their weight.

Why hand-painting matters here

What you are paying for here is drawing. Print it and the figures flatten into shapes; drawn and painted by hand, they keep their weight and their distance from one another.

PriceOn request

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 are talking to the people who will actually paint it, not a middleman.

Hanging it

In a bedroom, where the mood is meant to be quiet — that is where this one settles. We do not crop to fit a stock size. The canvas is cut to the original's proportions, which matters if the composition is unusually wide or tall.

Questions worth asking

Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?

No, and we would be wary of anyone who issues one for a public-domain reproduction. What you receive is a hand-painted canvas and photographs of it before it ships.

Can I get this in a size that is not listed?

Yes — the listed sizes are the common requests, not a limit. Very wide or unusually tall proportions are routine for us.

Why not just print it?

A print flattens the surface into a poster: the distance collapses and the highlights turn to grey. Paint keeps the depth and the texture the original was built from.
